We are incredibly grateful to the Shelbyville Bedford Community Foundation for their generous support of Bedford County Schools! 💙
Thanks to the funds raised through last year’s Connected Community 5K, six BCS educators will be able to travel to a national conference for high-quality professional learning. The knowledge, strategies and inspiration they gain will come straight back to our classrooms—directly benefiting our #students and schools.
This is a powerful example of how a connected community invests in teachers, strengthens learning and supports #student success. #ThankYou for believing in our educators and our students!

Mrs. Olsen’s 5th grade #students at #ThomasMagnetSchool didn’t just review chemical reactions, but they became yeast detectives! 🔬 They discovered that yeast is a living organism and that its traits can change depending on temperature.
Who knew science could be this alive? 🌡️🍞
