🌟 Student Voices. Student Perspectives. Student Leadership. 🌟
The Superintendent’s Student Advisory Council recently gathered at the Bedford County Schools Central Office to kick off another year of #student #leadership, conversation and collaboration! 💬✨
With both returning and new members joining the council, #students had the opportunity to get to know one another through an icebreaker question: “If you could instantly become really good at one thing, anything at all, school-related or not, what would you choose and why?” Their answers sparked some fun conversations and gave students a chance to learn more about the peers they’ll be working alongside throughout the year.
Students also met with Superintendent Tim Harwell, Assistant Superintendent of Instruction Sandy Sorrells, Assistant Superintendent of Operations Neil Watson and Director of Communications Carol Garrette. They then toured the Central Office to learn more about the different departments and how each one supports BCS schools and students.
Throughout the school year, these student leaders will have opportunities to share their perspectives, provide input on district matters and help ensure that student voices are part of the conversation. 🗣️⭐
We’re looking forward to hearing what this group has to say and seeing the impact their voices will have throughout the year!

Good afternoon, parents and guardians, we're looking forward to celebrating Homecoming this Friday, October 9th! Please review the following important details:
Parade & Pep Rally Permission Slips All permission slips for the parade and pep rally were distributed to students and must be turned into their Homeroom Teacher by Wednesday, October 7th. All students must return a form, even if they do not plan to attend. If opting out, no parent/guardian signature is required.
