1. Here's 'The Scoop'. From now through the end of the school year, Bedford High School students who present their student ID will get a free iced coffee or tea with the purchase of a breakfast sandwich at The Inside Scoop.

2. Bedford PTG offers Student Safety Night.Bedford parents and caregivers are invited to a student safety night, which is scheduled for Wednesday, April 3 at 6:30 p.m. at McKelvie Intermediate School. The event includes guest speakers from Bedford Police and Bedford Fire Departments, in addition to representatives from the Children's Advocacy Center (CAC) of Hillsborough County, for an event centered on your child's safety. Topics will include public, fire, and Internet safety, as well as many other recommended safety measures to speak about with your children. Education regarding how to recognize when help may be needed will also be addressed. Registration is not required, but due to some of the subject matter, it is NOT recommended that children under 17 years attend the presentation.

3. I need your help! We're closing the gap, but Bedford Patch is still losing the race to 1,000 Facebook 'Likes' by 89 right now. In fact, Windham Patch enters the day with 955 Facebook followers to Bedford Patch's 866. I don't know about you, but Bedford doesn't lose at anything (just as the high school sports teams). Help me get to 1,000 by the end of the month by spreading the word and/or click here to 'like' Bedford Patch on Facebook. Thank you for your help! - Ryan
