Bryant Mayor Allen Scott and City Planner Colton Leonard spoke to Brandon Bagwell's AP Human Geography class. Students recently completed the unit on urban development, infrastructure, and cities, so they had great questions for the city leaders. Several students expressed interest in running for city council when they turn 18 so they can help move Bryant forward. #opp4success

It's time to Spring Forward, Hornets! Set your clock ahead one hour before you go to sleep on Saturday, March 11.
Our Collegeville Food Service team members enjoyed serving breakfast to our Hornets this week. #NationalSchoolBreakfastWeek #DigIn
As part of breakfast, both BJH and BHS offer the Buzz Cafe coffee bar. Students can select from in house brewed iced coffee with vanilla, white chocolate, brown sugar cinnamon and caramel flavors. Coffee drinks aren’t all that’s on the menu. High end fancy pastries are also offered.
As for the price? It's included with a breakfast meal purchase.
The school coffee bars have been wildly successful. Within the first week of serving, numbers increased by 100 at the BJH. And no wonder. It’s a bargain compared to most other coffee shops. #NationalSchoolBreakfastWeek
We can't celebrate #NationalSchoolBreakfastWeek without saying how thankful we are for our Food Service team members! Our Hill Farm team made certain to #DIGIN with hardhats and Waffle Crossing t-shirts. We love the way they make meals tasty and 🧇fun for our Hornets.🧇🧇
