In September, Meadow Creek had a bus evacuation drill. It was an exciting day for everyone, but prekindergarten especially rose to the occasion by meeting CHAMPS expectations and following directions. They will be ready to ride the bus for their field trip! Bedford Junior High Staff celebrated College Colors Day by wearing their favorite college t-shirts. Each year, BJH students are encouraged to attend the HEB ISD College Fair to learn about all the post-secondary opportunities available to them in the future. On September 30, students from L.D. Bell and Trinity high schools participated in the Chinese Calligraphy Competition hosted by UT Dallas. These Chinese 3 and Chinese 4 students completed cultural research, wrote an essay, and practiced Chinese art; some of the students carved their own name seals from stone. We had a great opening ceremony to the Bell/Trinity Pink Out Volleyball Match, where we honored several men and women who are fighting or have fought many different types of cancers. The proceeds of our fundraising will go to several Bell staff members: Jackie Vernon, Cathy Kahlig, Amy Keller, and Tara Hernandez. It was a touching tribute to many and another fine example of how were are better together! 35
