Every week Horizon's Club meets at MBS. This Career Club brings in speakers to meet with students to share their life experience and insight about their career path. Our six grade Horizon students had a special guest this week.....Our very own Officer Blakely. She shared her path from being a PSD 150 student to becoming the Mark Bills School Resource Officer.
Thank you officer Blakely for all you do at MBS! We LOVE having you as a part of our Eagle Family!
