MT. JULIET  -- To try and be more environmentally conscious, or green, as it is commonly referred to, Mt. Juliet Middle School is working to have B.E.A.R.S., which stands for Brilliant, Eco-friendly And Recycling Students.

The B.E.A.R.S. project is the main effort of the Junior Beta Club and is handled completely by the students. MJMS began their Junior Beta Club in 2008 with only 20 members.
