Ms. Rubatt’s 5th grade class is celebrating this week’s “Keep the Quote” recipient. Each week students vote on a favorite quote that they either write or find. The quote is on display all week and the author/finder of the quote gets to select a student from the class that best emulates the quote. Adalynn Sivula was chosen this week for being exceptionally kind to everyone!

"It’s National School Lunch Week! (October 13–17, 2025)

Each day, the National School Lunch Program fuels nearly 30 million students across the country — helping them learn, grow, and thrive.

At Bessemer Area School District, we know that a healthy school lunch is key to student success both in and out of the classroom. Research shows that students enjoy some of their healthiest meals right here at school, and National School Lunch Week is the perfect time to celebrate that!

A huge thank you to our incredible Food Service team for their dedication, care, and effort in providing nutritious and delicious meals for our students every day.

Thank you, Food Service Staff - Garyn, Peter, Tammy, Jami, & Stacey -You Matter!"
