🚌💜💛 It's School Bus Safety Week & Driver Appreciation!
This week, we're celebrating the dedicated school bus drivers who go the extra mile to ensure our Bearcats arrive at school and return home safely each day!
Our drivers do so much more than transport students. They're familiar faces, friendly smiles, and an important part of the Decatur County Schools family.
As we recognize School Bus Safety Week, we also remind our community to do their part by slowing down, staying alert, and stopping for school buses.
👏 Join us in thanking our incredible transportation team for the miles they drive, the students they serve, and the difference they make every day!

Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month!
From researching and learning to tasting and celebrating, Ms. Rambo's ELT class explored the accomplishments, stories, and contributions of Hispanic individuals who greatly impacted our world today. They discovered that heritage is about honoring roots, appreciating our differences, and learning from one another.

In honor of America’s 250th Birthday, BMS QUEST and Advanced Content students participated in a wax museum portraying historical figures who contributed to our country. Each grade level had a segment of our country’s timeline: 1776-1865 (7th Grade), 1866-1929 (6th Grade), and 1930-1979 (8th Grade). This interdisciplinary project involved extensive research, the creation of a background and props, an informational essay, and a video speech accessible by QR code.
