Loved all the characters dressed up - Santa, Chick fil-A cow, both Bedford Bear and 92.5 Bear! LOVED the kids craft area!!! It kept my daughter entertained while we waited for awards. Loved the chance to have our pic made with Santa - like I said this was my daughter's 1st race so now we have a cute photo to remember it!!!
I am definitely marking this one on my calendar for next year. Congrats on a great race and I can't wait to bring my running group with me next year!!!! "

Social Studies Fair
The Bedford Social Studies Fair was a huge success this year. Students from first through ninth grade completed projects on such topics ranging from family trees to the Navajo Code Talkers of WWII. Students worked at home researching and writing on the topics and presenting their hard work on a tri-fold board along with other visual aids. Finally, the students presented their work to their classmates in an oral presentation. Way to go, Bedford Students, for a job well done.
