#GivingTuesday is almost here! Share the love...😍

Celebrate #GivingTuesday with Us
November 2019

In this season of gratitude, we are so thankful for this beautiful place we live and the fantastic teachers, administrators, counselors, librarians, and support staffs in our schools! We want Bedford County Public Schools to be the best possible place for our students and educators. By supporting innovation in the classroom, we not only promote learning, but also provide an encouraging environment for those who teach and care for our children. Given today's nationwide teacher shortage, let's do all we can to recruit and keep the most wonderful educators around!

Please forward this e-mail to friends and community leaders and business owners who care about supporting our schools and building the workforce of tomorrow!

We recently attended the Virginia School Boards Association's Foundation Workshop. It was great to hear of all the work being done around the state to support education. Thankful to be a part of a community here in Bedford County with committed education partners!

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." — Margaret Mead
