🧡🌞 Our Schools Shine Bright for Friendship Day!🌞 🧡
Across #BedfordCountySchools, students and staff showed their support this week for Friendship Day by wearing orange to stand up and speak out against bullying. From classrooms to playgrounds, our schools were filled with kindness, unity and friendship.
The orange seen throughout our district is a wonderful reminder that when we come together, we can create schools where everyone feels safe, supported and valued.🧡
Thank you to all our #students, teachers, families and community for helping us celebrate this important day!
#FriendshipDay #KindnessInAction #StandUpSpeakOut #TogetherAgainstBullying #BedfordProud
📚☀️ What a great way to start #FriendshipDay! Superintendent of #BedfordCountySchools Dr. Tammy Garrett stopped by #EakinElementarySchool this morning to read Dare to Be Me by Kaci Bolls and Nathan Meckel — a joyful story that celebrates courage, confidence and embracing what makes each of us unique.🌟
Students loved the fun rhymes and positive message reminding us all to shine bright, be kind and, most importantly, be yourself! 💛
