After months of preparation, the 2017 Belleville Road Rally took off as planned last Saturday morning. Although the number of entrants fell short of what The Barbs were hoping for, the teams were mostly awake and enthusiastic to begin their adventure.
In the coming weeks, we will have the Road Rally results and lots more team photos.

Last school year, the 7th graders at Belleville Middle School participated in the Strides for Africa campaign to raise money to build a well for a school in Upper Johnsonville, Liberia. On October 3rd the now 8th graders got to see what their efforts had brought as pictures of the completed well and a 'thank you' letter arrived at Belleville Middle School. The money raised, totaling $1,695.25, built a well that will provide nearly 3,800 residents of Upper Johnsonville with clean water.
