🌟 What an incredible day at the Invention Convention at MTSU! 🌟

#InventionClub students from #EastSideElementarySchool recently showcased their innovative ideas while competing with over 500 fourth and fifth graders from across Middle Tennessee at the #InventionConvention at #MTSU.

These #students also heard an inspiring message from Sam Phalen from Season 47 of Survivor, who encouraged them to never give up and to continue pursuing their dreams no matter the obstacles. 💪✨

These young innovators continue to impress with their hard work, bravery and big thinking. The future is bright! 🌍💡

👟✨ BCS Is Stepping Up! ✨👟

We’re partnering with #Soles4Souls to host a district-wide shoe drive and the deadline to donate is almost here!

From January 20 – February 28, we’ll be collecting NEW and GENTLY USED shoes to support people around the world. These shoes will support the Soles4Souls’ 4OPPORTUNITY program, which helps people in countries like Haiti, Honduras and parts of Africa create small businesses selling shoes and clothing to earn a living.

We are excited to partner with Soles4Souls, who has generously donated new, brand-name athletic shoes through their 4EVERYKID program, helping #BedfordCountySchools McKinney-Vento students.

📍Shoe collection bins are in each of our schools and at the Central Office.

Let’s give back—one step at a time! 💙

Thank you for helping us support #students, families and communities around the world.

🌟 The brilliant #InventionClub #students and future #innovators at #EastSideElementarySchool are back with NEW creations that solve real-world problems in the most creative ways! 🌟

Check out this year’s amazing inventions:

✨ Braille Pants – Making clothing more accessible with braille on the tag so everyone can independently identify the color of their clothes!

🧠 Memory Memo – A fun and engaging memory game designed to keep your brain sharp while you play!

👜 Lightweight Talker – A bag with recordable buttons inside and pictures outside. Press a button and it says the word (like “STOP”). Designed for individuals who are mute as it promotes communication and independence!

👖 Comfy Jeans – Because jeans shouldn’t be uncomfortable! One #student redesigned them by sewing soft leggings inside for all-day comfort plus added a cute, custom design on the outside. Fashion meets function!

We are so #BedfordProud of these creative thinkers who are designing with empathy, innovation and purpose. They are shaping the future one invention at a time! 🌍💡
