Fire DeptThe Fairburn Fire Department brought their Fire Safety House and educated students in ways that they can help prevent fires and stay safe. 

Clown - Stephen SmithThe Fire Department, led by Captain Bo, instructed students as they entertained them with a puppet and clown show.  This was extra special to us because the clown (who is also a fireman), is a former Bedford student, Stephen Smith.


Grandparents DayGrandparents' Day was held on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving.  Over 140 Grandparents enjoyed visiting classes and eating Thanksgiving dinner during a program about the school.

Dasher 1The first Bedford Dasher 5K and Elf Run was held on December 12.  Fairburn mayor Betty Hannah served as the official starter. 

Chick-fil-A CowThe Chick fil-A cow and Santa were also on hand to encourage the racers and celebrate the day!  Bedford parents coordinated the event and secured sponsors, advertisers and promoted the event!  Everyone's efforts added up to a HUGE success.
 
The Parent Coffees at Bedford  are a good opportunity to learn more about children with learning differences and fellowship with other parents.  The next Parent Coffee is Friday, February 5 from 8:00 A.M. until 9:30A.M.  We will watch a video about Social Skills and Learning Disabilities and then have a discussion, led by Betsy Box.  Guests are welcome to come!
