We’re excited to share the impact of a generous donation from United Communications in support of #BedfordCountySchools! 🎉
Their contribution helped to purchase new STEM and science supplies that are now being used in classrooms across the district, giving #students more opportunities for hands-on learning, exploration and discovery. 🔬⚙️📐
We are incredibly grateful to #UnitedCommunications for supporting our students and investing in the future of our community. Your generosity is making a difference every day! 💙

📚✨ Stitching Encouragement into Every Page! ✨📚
The Shelbyville branch of the Embroidery Guild of America (EGA) recently shared their talents in a meaningful way with handstitched bookmarks for reading interventionists to use as rewards for #students reading progress. 🧵❤️
Founded in 1958 to foster the art of needlework and related arts, EGA continues to make a positive impact in our community. EGA member and #BedfordCountySchools ESL & Instructional Support Coordinator, Kathy Reed, visited #CartwrightElementarySchool, #CommunityElementarySchool, #EakinElementarySchool, #EastSideElementarySchool and #LearningWayElementarySchool to deliver these special bookmarks, which are already inspiring students to keep turning pages and reaching new goals! 🌟
#ThankYou to the Shelbyville EGA for supporting literacy and encouraging a love of reading, one stitch at a time! 📖🪡

Recently, we partnered with #Soles4Souls to host a district-wide shoe drive to collect NEW and GENTLY USED shoes to support people around the world, and because of your generosity, BCS collected an incredible 651 pairs! 👏✨
These shoes will support the Soles4Souls’ 4OPPORTUNITY program, which helps people in countries like Haiti, Honduras and parts of Africa create small businesses selling shoes and clothing to earn a living.
We are excited to partner with Soles4Souls, who has generously donated new, brand-name athletic shoes through their 4EVERYKID program, helping #BedfordCountySchools McKinney-Vento #students.
From our classrooms to communities across the globe, your kindness is making a real impact, one step at a time. 🌍👟#ThankYou, BCS, for stepping up and showing what it means to give back! ❤️
