Students from grades 3-12 attended an assembly by Sports World sponsored by SBLHS. Pro athletes, Jimmie Bell (NFL) and Wesley Fluellen (NBA) shared personal experiences to help students recognize that life choices matter and that the students are in control.

They said students should take responsibility for their legacy, fight for their dreams, and don't let distractions get in the way of their success.
These students have been selected as November Raiders of the Month for Cumberland Elementary and Middle School. They are excellent examples in our school! Congratulations and keep up the good work!
