Each student rang a bell after receiving their award.The ceremony is conducted after each nine-week grading period.“Our Chieftain Leaders are students who do the right thing, even when no one is watching,” Principal Pat Martz said. It’s the fourth year for the program at BES. (BELLEFONTAINE SCHOOLS PHOTO)
