The Second Annual Bell Prairie Veterans Day Celebration was a huge success!

The Windsong Choir started our assembly with amazing music. The entire school sang America The Beautiful. Girl Scout Troop 1204 and Troop 5215 led our school in The Pledge of Allegiance. Our guest speaker, Major James Pate, reminded us of the importance of Veterans Day. He taught students about what the colors of the flag represent, in addition to why Betsy Ross chose stars for our flag.  We were honored to have many Veterans join us for lunch throughout the day. It was so wonderful to see so many men and women who have served our country!

First Down Clinic   Last week, 2nd 3rd and 5th grade students participated in a free football First Down Clinic Through Fuel Up Play 60 and USA Football during their encore time. Students learned hand eye coordination, agility, passing, catching and ball handling skills. A DJ was also here to make this event even more enjoyable. Mustangs had a great experience and thanks to all the volunteers and staff for making this a fun event!
