Coach Bond's 7th grade students have been learning about the California Gold Rush. Today, they went outside to try their hand at prospecting by building their own sluice box with found materials and panning for gold! A few students even got lucky!💰⚒️ #historyeducation

It’s a wrap on our #SummerCerealDrive! During the month of April, Bryant Schools collected cereal for Arkansas Foodbank and our local pantries.
THV11's Tom Brannon visited Bethel Middle School today as they celebrated collecting 175 breakfast items. The students who donated the most cereal tossed water balloons at Tom, principal Donaven Sims, and Asst. Principal Brian Nivens. It was all in good fun for a great cause!
Congratulations to Bryant Elementary School which collected the most donations—383 items. In total, our district donated over 700 boxes of cereal to our community. Great job, Hornets!

💦 We had a special guest visit Bethel this afternoon! THV11 and meteorologist Tom Brannon stopped by to join our water balloon celebration for this year's Summer Cereal Drive! Tune in to see the water balloon throw on tonight's THV11 broadcast! 💙 #bethebest #THV11SCD
