BETHLEHEM – Students at Bethlehem School benefitted from a variety of life experiences Thursday, March 15, as Holmes County Sheriff John Tate and several other guests visited the campus to speak about the importance of making good decisions.

First, Sheriff Tate broached the subject of several issues that have recently been brought back to the forefront, such as bullying and cyber bullying, the dangers of social media, and the repercussions of making threats of violence.

Students then listened as guests Jared Baker, Wilburn Baker, Rafe Lamb, and Jerrod Jenkins spoke about making good life choices, telling personal stories to relay a message about the dangers of drugs and alcohol.

“Our goal is to educate the students and hopefully keep them from making bad decisions,” said Sheriff Tate. “If there was only one child who listened today, and what they heard helped them avoid bad choices, then we have had a success.”
