🌿✨ Atrium Transformation at Bluefield Middle School! ✨🌿 Thanks to the collaborative efforts of several incredible partners, Bluefield Middle School’s atrium has been beautifully revitalized! This project was made possible through the vision and leadership of Sherry Bradley and Candy Fulp, with strong support from Community Connections, the Mercer County Coalition, and Recovery Point, whose guidance and labor brought the project to life. Special thanks to Josh Hodges and his talented students from MCTEC, who contributed custom-designed pieces to enhance the space. We also appreciate the support and presence of Board of Education member Jim Bailey, Mercer County Commissioner Greg Puckett, Assistant Superintendent Rosemary Mitchell, as well as the leadership of BMS principals Kim Miller, Shannon Honaker, and Brooke Bennett. The newly enhanced atrium is more than just a beautiful space—it’s a reflection of what’s possible when community comes together to support our schools. #BluefieldMiddle #CommunityMatters #MercerCountyPride #CourtyardMakeover #MCTEC #RecoveryPoint #CommunityConnections
