Cheers and wide-eyed excitement filled the bus lot at Emma Elementary as first and second grade students discovered a row of shiny new bicycles waiting just for them. Each student received a bike and helmet to take home, thanks to a generous donation from Can’dAid.
 
Can’dAid, a nonprofit organization that helps communities lead healthy, active, and creative lifestyles, partnered with frozen greek yogurt brand Yasso and professional mountain biker Jeff Lenosky to create an unforgettable experience for the students.

BCEC and BCCI students act as citizen scientists to conduct a snail survey at Appalachian Highlands Science Center in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Snails are important bio-indicators on the health of the park and the surrounding region, and students helped contribute to a 20+ year longitudinal study of these important species and what they tell us about our environment.
