Today, we shine a spotlight on the incredible School Resource Officers who do so much more than keep our schools safe. They inspire, guide and support our #students every single day. 🙌💙
From offering a calming presence in tough moments to celebrating every #student’s success, our SROs show up with courage, care and heart. They’re mentors, role models and a trusted part of the #BedfordCountySchools family, building relationships that last long beyond the school day. Your dedication makes a real difference, and today we celebrate YOU! ❤️
#ThankYou #SchoolHeroes #SROAppreciationDay #Grateful #WeAppreciateYou #WeAreBeford

Today, we are proud to recognize and thank our incredible School Resource Officers who serve our students far beyond the badge — Officer Ziegler, Officer Rawn, and Officer Cooke.
Officer Ziegler has served as an SRO for 8 years and enjoys working with students as they grow and develop into young adults. Building strong relationships with students is one of her favorite parts of the job, helping students see her as more than just a badge.
Officer Rawn has dedicated 25 years to law enforcement, including 13 years as an SRO serving at the high school, middle school, and elementary levels. She loves joking around with students and making them laugh, while also emphasizing the importance of care and connection. She believes that students don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care — and that those relationships play a key role in students’ academic success and personal growth.
Our SROs mentor, teach, protect, and build relationships every day, helping make our school a safe, welcoming, and supportive place for students.
Thank you, Officer Ziegler, Officer Rawn, and Officer Cooke, for all that you do — today and every day! 💙🦅

Students from #CommunityMiddleSchool, #CommunityHighSchool, #HarrisMiddleSchool, #ShelbyvilleCentralHighSchool, and #ThomasMagnetSchool recently joined #students from schools across Middle Tennessee at Franklin County High School for the Tri-Lakes Honor Band.
With just nine hours to learn and rehearse their concert selections, these young musicians delivered an impressive performance in under 24 hours, demonstrating exceptional talent, focus and dedication. 🌟 Thanks to the guidance and support of their band directors, students not only sharpened their musical skills but also experienced teamwork, collaboration and the thrill of performing as part of a large, dynamic ensemble.
👏 #Congratulations to all participants for this outstanding achievement!
