From FFA Advisor, Mr. Chris Kaufman . . .
"On Sunday, August 14, we had 30 FFA members earn 7 hours of community service helping Circle City Relief http://www.circlecityrelief.com/ make a positive impact on the lives of residents of the north east side of Indianapolis (near the State Fair grounds) by providing them food, clothing, and fellowship. The event was great for our students. Although we had a little rain dampen our event, our students were still able to take home a better sense of community from the day."

Send Us Your Hornet Highlights!
We know there are many, many positive stories about Beech Grove City Schools involving our students, teachers, staff, and programs that we don't always hear. If you have a positive story to share, please send the details to Melody Stevens, Community Relations Director, at mstevens@bgcs.k12.in.us. We also encourage you to send stories that include personal achievements of your child such as: attaining the rank of Eagle Scout, performing in a community play, earning Girl Scout badges, serving as a volunteer in a non-profit organization, etc., etc. You might just see your story in a future edition of the "Hornet Blast" or in one of our local south side newspapers.
