Bellamy Middle School participated in "Souper Bowl for Caring" to raise money for Lorraine Soup Kitchen in Chicopee. The grades battled it out in a Penny War challenge. Sixth grade won! Mrs. Colbert was taped to the wall as students purchased pieces of tape to add more donations to the cause. In the end the winning grade was able to throw pies in Mr. Francis face (as shown above) along with other faculty members. Way to go Bellamy! GO BULLDOGS!
