There will be no school today in honor of Dr. King’s legacy.
“The time is always right to do what is right.” — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Let’s use today to reflect, learn, and continue working toward justice and equality. 💙

🤝 No School Monday in Honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day 🌟
We encourage our school community to take this day to reflect on the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose message of hope, equality and courage continues to inspire us. 💙
Let’s honor his dream through kindness, learning and acts of service, both in our schools and beyond. Together, we can continue building a more just and compassionate community. ❤️🤝

❤️Student Spotlight: Saving Lives & Making a Difference ❤️
#BedfordCountySchools is incredibly proud of Kaegan Young, a senior from #CascadeHighSchool, who turned compassion into action — and helped save lives in the process!
As part of the American Red Cross Leaders Save Lives program, Kaegan hosted a community blood drive on June 19, 2025, collecting an amazing 158 blood donations from 131 donors, including 54 first-time donors. Because of her leadership and dedication, she earned a $2,500 scholarship and a gift card — well deserved!
This blood drive was especially meaningful. Kaegan organized it in honor of her younger sister, Kaemey, who is currently battling Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL).
The scholarship was presented by representatives from the American Red Cross, including Ron Simmons, District Manager for Tennessee; Brandie Spradley, Booking Manager; and Gene Baker, Account Manager, who joined Kaegan and her parents in recognizing her extraordinary service and leadership.
We are #BedfordProud to celebrate #students who lead with heart, serve their communities and make a difference beyond the classroom. #Congratulations, Kaegan!🫶❤️

🍴🔥 Cooking Up Success! 🔥🍴
Please join us in sending a huge #congratulations to two talented #students from #CascadeHighSchool who are advancing to the top 8 in the Tennessee State Junior Chef Competition, a statewide, high school-level culinary challenge!
This first round focused on nutrition with teams creating a recipe that met strict National School Lunch Program guidelines—including under 750 calories, less than 1,000 mg of sodium, and other nutritional requirements.
🎉 Isabella Highfill and Hannah Nevills, students in Megan Sager's Culinary Arts class, impressed judges with their dish: honey bbq chicken breast on a bed of whole-grain rice, served with sweet potato fries, smashed carrots and a strawberry cup.
Next stop: the live cooking round, where the top teams will prepare their meals in front of judges! 👩🍳👨🍳
