🌟 Student Voices Making an Impact! 🌟

To wrap up their final meeting of the school year, the Superintendent’s Student Advisory Council gathered at the Central Office recently to share their thoughts and experiences directly with Superintendent Dr. Tammy Garrett and Assistant Superintendent Tim Harwell.

Dr. Garrett made a special presentation recognizing two seniors, Caroline Cook, #CascadeHighSchool, and Trinity Roaden, #CommunityHighSchool, for their five years of service - serving since this council first began and the students were in 8th grade!

Throughout the school year, this dedicated group has represented their peers, offered valuable feedback on district initiatives and helped identify opportunities to strengthen #BedfordCountySchools. Their perspectives continue to play an important role in guiding decisions and supporting #student success. 💬✨

We’re grateful for their leadership and proud of the meaningful contributions they’ve made this school year to help shape the future of our schools. 🎓

🌊🐠The Pre-K CDC class at #EakinElementarySchool recently created an interactive coral reef exhibit in the hallway where visitors could press buttons to hear these #students share facts about ocean life. These young learners helped bring the reef to life with their recorded messages, inviting everyone to listen, explore and discover.🐳

The display also featured an “I Spy” counting activity and fun facts about fish and coral reefs, creating a hands-on learning experience for all who passed by.🔎

What a wonderful example of creativity, curiosity and hands-on learning in action! 👏🐟🐢

🪿✨ HONK if you love a little school spirit! ✨🪿

The cafeteria staff at #CommunityHighSchool recently cooked up something egg-stra special… a school-wide naming competition for a brand-new porch goose! 🥚🎉

Teachers submitted their best (and most quack-tastic) name ideas, and then the votes flew in. After all the ballots were counted, the cafeteria porch goose officially received its name…

🎀 Roberta Ralston 🎀

The excitement didn’t stop there though as #BedfordCountySchools’ very own Bartalemew G. Honksworth (Bart) waddled in for a special visit! 🪿

This activity was a fun and creative way to bring the school together and build a positive, inclusive culture across campus. From friendly competition to plenty of smiles, even a porch goose can help strengthen school community spirit! 💛💜

Welcome to the flock, Roberta Ralston! 🪿And you, too, Bart.

New hands-on learning opportunities are taking shape in the #Agriculture class at the #ShelbyvilleCentralHighSchool Annex!🥚🐓

#Students have introduced a flock of chickens and their coop to campus along with a rooster named Bobby, 👑🐓 who has confidently taken on the role of campus supervisor. Penelope, the black and white Barred Rock hen, is a class favorite!

Through daily care and maintenance, students are gaining hands-on experience in animal science, responsibility and sustainable agriculture.

🥚 Even better, the eggs collected are being used in the #CulinaryArts program, where student chefs incorporate them into their dishes.

It’s a real-world farm-to-table connection happening right on the SCHS campus!
