Students at Beatrice Middle School will be able to access a new mini market within the next week. On Wednesday afternoon, several administrators from Beatrice Public Schools with the school resource officers met at Russ’ Market in Beatrice to shop for the mini markets at the high school and middle school. “We wouldn’t have been able to start the BHS mini market without the support of the Community Food Pantry,” he said. BMS Principal Andrew Haake said the high school had success with the mini market in helping students and the middle school felt there was a need for their students and families as well. The free and reduced lunch rate at both the high school and the middle school is about 50%.
