Bridges of Mountain Home recently received two grants from the Twin Lakes Community Foundation. One grant -- for $2,000 -- is for a clothing closet at the Nelson-Wilks-Herron campus, and the other is for $500 to purchase student snacks for each counseling office. We're grateful!
Our dedicated, amazing volunteers are essential to our district. We could not serve our students and the community in the ways that we do without each of you! Happy Volunteer Appreciation Week! We appreciate you this week and always!
Would you look at that? What a rare, fun find by one of our very own GBCCA 8th graders!
