The Challenge Program, Inc. Kicks Off At Northern Bedford High School.  Students at Northern Bedford High School were recently introduced to The Challenge Program, Inc. during a kick-off assembly at their school. The assembly theme was Classroom Feud: Workplace Edition. This fun game show spin-off reveals to students the right answers to the important questions for career-readiness and success both in and beyond the classroom and how to earn cash incentives.

During the assembly, students in the sophomore, junior, and senior classes were introduced to local career opportunities. Throughout the year, they will be eligible to compete for financial awards in five areas linked with academic and workplace success: Attendance, Academic Improvement, Academic Excellence, STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) and Community Service. The business partner for Northern Bedford High School during the 2017/2018 school year is Corle Building Systems.

The student PRIDE team held an American Flag scavenger hunt for middle school and high school students as a lead-in to the Veterans Day assembly. 150 paper flags were hidden throughout the building for
students to find. Winners from each school were selected from the tickets found. Here the winning
high school students received their prizes, which included gift certificates and food items, from
PRIDE member Cameron Pressel (middle).
