Recently, #HarrisMiddleSchool 8th grade Career Exploration students with Mrs Stallings, Miss Blackburn, and Mrs. Meece, had the opportunity to visit the #SCHS Annex for an informative and engaging field trip experience. During their tour, students explored a variety of Career and Technical Education (CTE) classrooms and learned about the hands-on, skill-based courses they will have the opportunity to take in high school. Career and Technical Education plays a vital role in preparing students for future success by connecting classroom learning to real-world careers. Exposure to these programs helps students discover their interests, build practical skills, and begin thinking intentionally about their post-secondary goals. With high school course selections taking place on March 16th, this visit provided valuable insight to help students make informed decisions about their high school pathway. We are proud of our students for taking this important step toward planning their futures! #CareerExploration #CTE #FutureReady #HarrisMiddleSchool

We’re partnering with #Soles4Souls to host a district-wide shoe drive and the deadline to donate is almost here!

From January 20 – February 28, we’ll be collecting NEW and GENTLY USED shoes to support people around the world. These shoes will support the Soles4Souls’ 4OPPORTUNITY program, which helps people in countries like Haiti, Honduras and parts of Africa create small businesses selling shoes and clothing to earn a living.

We are excited to partner with Soles4Souls, who has generously donated new, brand-name athletic shoes through their 4EVERYKID program, helping #BedfordCountySchools McKinney-Vento students.

📍Shoe collection bins are in each of our schools and at the Central Office.

Let’s give back—one step at a time! 💙

Thank you for helping us support #students, families and communities around the world.
