Bellefontaine Elementary School recently hosted its second Chieftain Leader ceremony of the school year.

Students in grades K-2 were recognized for following the B-Block pledge every day: to be safe, be respectful and be a learner.

Bellefontaine High School Principal Jason Brown presented each recipient with their award.

Here is a list of each award recipient: kindergartners Victoria Fernandez, Ben Palmer, Tiona Wright, Killian Barger, Andre Miller, Arya Brock, Pierce Kinchen, Leah Overholser, first-graders Flynt Garver, Avery Cozad, Melody Dick, Averie Dapice, Zelda Morgan, Cylas Board, Maci Rumer and Madeline Masters; and second-graders Austin Owens, Desirae Ball, Gavin Williams, Maddix Burton, Abrianna Cox and Ellie Preston
Each student rang a bell after receiving their award. The recipients also received a T-shirt.

The ceremony is conducted after each nine-week grading period. It’s the fifth year for the program at BES.
