👟✨ BCS Is Stepping Up! ✨👟

We’re partnering with #Soles4Souls to host a district-wide shoe drive and the deadline to donate is almost here!

From January 20 – February 28, we’ll be collecting NEW and GENTLY USED shoes to support people around the world. 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.

📍Shoe collection bins are in each of our schools and at the Central Office.

Let’s give back—one step at a time! 💙

Thank you for helping us support #students, families and communities around the world.

Today we celebrate some of the very first and very last smiling faces our students see each day — our amazing school bus drivers! 🚌💙

Rain or shine, hot or freezing, before the sun rises and long after the afternoon bell rings, they safely carry our Cartwright Colts to and from school. They don’t just drive a bus — they start mornings with kind words, encouragement, and sometimes even a laugh when students need it most.

Our drivers show patience, care, and dedication every single day, and they play a huge role in making sure our students arrive ready to learn and return home safely to their families.

Please join us in saying THANK YOU to our incredible bus drivers for all they do for our students and our community. We appreciate you more than you know!
