Each student will be given a ribbon and on each ribbon, will write one way they are proud of their race, culture, or gender. Each student will tie their ribbon to the fence to show how each individual makes BELL Academy a better place. From the information collected by students in the Future Community Leaders Cluster, posters will be placed around the hallways to celebrate the diverse cultural backgrounds of the students and staff at BELL Academy.
