Congratulations to these recipients of Student of the Month at the High School!

We are now two weeks out from our annual Veteran's Day Program! It will be held Wednesday, November 11th, and the program will begin promptly at 9:30am in the BHS Erekson Theatre.

This year we are excited to welcome Captain William Richman, 122nd Air National Guard, to be this year's guest speaker! This year's theme is “What a Veteran taught me about America.”

All area Veterans and guests are invited and are asked to arrive before 9am. Veterans are also welcome to join us for a complimentary lunch served after the program in the Bellmont Media Center. Feel free to reach out to Mr. Bryan Lineberry, [email protected], with any questions or concerns.

Red Ribbon Week is right around the corner at Bellmont Middle and Elementary School! Check out the following dress up days we will be having to celebrate next week!

Community partners are working together to enhance safety at the annual Callithumpian Parade in Decatur on Monday, October 26, 2026. The City of Decatur, Decatur Chamber of Commerce, North Adams Community Schools and Adams Health have joined forces to implement additional safety measures designed to help keep parade attendees, especially children, safe while preserving the fun and excitement of this longstanding community tradition.

New this year, orange and blue traffic cones will be placed every 20 feet along both sides of the parade route to create a visible barrier between spectators and parade participants. Attendees are asked to remain behind the cones and keep the parade route clear throughout the event.

The additional precautions are especially important for children who may be excited to collect candy during the parade. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to remind children to remain behind the cones when retrieving candy and to avoid entering the parade route. Those participating in the parade are also asked to distribute candy only to spectators behind the cones to help prevent children and others from stepping into the path of moving parade entries.

In addition, volunteers representing the partner organizations will wear bright orange reflective safety vests to help monitor crowd safety, provide reminders about the new safety measures, and assist attendees as needed throughout the parade.

Through this collaborative effort, the partners hope to make the Callithumpian Parade a safe, fun and enjoyable event for everyone. Attendees are encouraged to follow the posted safety measures, listen to volunteers, and help keep the parade route clear.

Today was Braves Day at Bellmont Middle School! Students enjoyed a day full of fun as they rotated through activities like volleyball, badminton, swimming, games, snacks, and much more. It was a great way to celebrate completing the first quarter and kick off Fall Break! Enjoy your break, Braves! We’ll see you back on the 26th!

This week is National School Lunch Week! Our Food Service Team has been hosting special dress up days, snacks, and put up decorations to bring some extra fun to our lunchrooms!

The National School Lunch Program was originally created to provide nutritious meals to children from low-income families who might not otherwise have access to a daily meal. Today, the National School Lunch Program continually expanded it's scope and serves nearly 30 million children every school day.

At Bellmont, our Middle School and Elementary School students have access to a free lunch and breakfast every day. Thank you to all members of our Food Service Team for everything they do to serve our students!
