Thank You, Bement Community!

Additional pictures from the middle school reindeer feeding station challenge.

6th and 8th grade science students took advantage of the long class periods to compete in construction challenges.
Here they had to construct reindeer feeders that held cookies off of the ground and withstood gale force winds.
Students had limited time and a tight supply budget. The good news is, most were successful!

The Cerro Gordo and Bement Music Departments presented a wonderful winter concert on Wednesday evening. Thank you to the students, Mrs. Tracey and Mr. Wilkey for all of your hard work. Performing groups included: CGB high school band and Bement high school choir.
