Bluefield Intermediate teacher Jessica Bulson had a full-circle moment today with one of her former students, now Bluefield Beaver football standout Jeremiah Jones.

Back in 4th grade, Jeremiah’s photo landed in the newspaper playing football in a church yard. Mrs. Bulson told him to sign it—“for when you get famous.”

Today, when the Championship-bound Beavers visited BIS, she pulled out that same photo and asked him to sign it again for good luck. And Jeremiah gave her the biggest, most heart-melting hug. 🏈

Moments like this remind us just how powerful a teacher’s impact can be. They plant seeds long before students even know what they’ll grow into—and watching those dreams unfold is nothing short of magic. ✨

Mercer County Schools is proud to celebrate the continued success of our partnership with the Smiles Program! 😁 We are truly grateful to have this program in our schools. The positive impact has been remarkable—not only for student health, but for the overall well-being of our classrooms and school communities. By providing convenient, school-based dental care, the Smiles Program helps ensure students receive essential services that keep them healthy, confident, and ready to learn. Families benefit from accessible care, students benefit from improved attendance and comfort, and teachers benefit from fewer health-related distractions in the classroom. This partnership has proven to be a tremendous advantage for our students, our schools, and the learning environment as a whole. We look forward to continuing this meaningful collaboration for years to come! #MercerCountySchools #WeAreMCS #SmilesProgram #StudentWellness #HealthyStudentsLearnBetter #SchoolHealth #StrongerTogether #MCSCommunity
