Additional 8th - 12th Grade Career Fair Pictures

A total of 32 professionals and career speakers participated in today’s 8th–12th grade Career Fair, providing students with valuable insight into a wide range of career pathways. Students had the opportunity to attend three different breakout sessions based on their interests.
Career fields represented included agriculture, engineering, healthcare, creative media, automotive, cosmetology, skilled trades, business, and law enforcement.
We extend our sincere appreciation to all of the professionals who generously volunteered their time to share their experiences with our students. A special thank you goes to Mrs. Nelson, Guidance Counselor, for her outstanding efforts in organizing this event.

More pictures from the FCCLA trip to Chicago.

FCCLA Students that earned 150 points for completing service projects throughout the school year, earned a field trip to Chicago. Students learned about the store IKEA, toured and shopped some great products, and their personal chef prepared an amazing spread of Swedish food for lunch. They wrapped up the day by visiting the Shedd Aquarium.

Throughout the day, our students received multiple compliments from hosts and staff who were impressed by their respectful behavior, positive attitudes, and engagement. One comment in particular stood out: “Your group was hands down the most pleasant group of teenagers we have ever had the pleasure of hosting here.”- Amy Dunn, Communications and Events Specialist, IKEA. We are incredibly proud of how our students conducted themselves and the lasting impression they made.

Bement 6th grade science students have been learning all about the earth. They were given the chance to build volcanoes for extra credit. Students were graded on accuracy and Volcano knowledge. As a bonus, the students were able to go outside today and erupt their volcanoes.

Lots of excitement was enjoyed by all.

The Bement Middle School Scholastic Bowl team had a busy, but wonderful, start to their season last week! They competed 3 nights in a row with 8 matches for the varsity and 7 matches for the junior varsity. Varsity finished the week with 3 wins and some very close losses, most by only one question! They have all demonstrated amazing knowledge, sportsmanship, and teamwork and have had lots of fun doing it! Thanks to the community's support of our calendar fundraiser and concession stands at games, they celebrated with team meals from Subway and at Mama T's! They head to Atwood for their final regular meet this Tuesday and to Sullivan for the conference tournament on Thursday!

Middle School students who qualified for 3rd Quarter Breakout spent the afternoon at Elevate Trampoline Park in Champaign. They had a great time!
