🌟 Staff Spotlight: Martha Link 🌟
Meet Martha Link, who serves as the Youth Services Center Coordinator at both Bernheim Middle School and Bullitt Lick Middle School. Martha works tirelessly to find resources and services for BCPS families and students, and she never hesitates to jump in wherever she's needed, whether that's co-presenting at a conference or helping a student get school supplies. There is no task too large or too small for Martha. She steps up with confidence, takes charge when it counts, and actively looks for new ways to connect students and families with the support they need.
Martha is a vital part of her school community, and Bullitt Lick Middle School is better because of her. That's Service Before Self, in action, every day.

🎉 Big shout-out to North Bullitt High School for closing out Hispanic Heritage Month with an incredible series of events! 🦅✨
The celebration kicked off on Friday with students preparing delicious dishes inspired by their heritage countries, leading right into the Hispanic Heritage Month Cultural Showcase!
Through North Bullitt's first Counselor Connection, student Cultural Experts brought their backgrounds to life, sharing traditions, music, history, food, sports, and personal experiences through vibrant, interactive displays. It was an amazing opportunity for students to proudly share their roots and create an authentic learning experience for the entire NBHS community to celebrate together! 🌍❤️
A huge thank-you to the NBHS Culinary Arts program, Ag Department, JROTC, Spanish classes, and everyone else who jumped in to make these events such a massive success! 👏
Way to lead by example, Eagles! 🦅💚

Brittany Clarkson and Victoria Christensen teach students who are blind or visually impaired in BCPS, and both came to this work through family: one through her daughter, the other through her little brother.
On this episode of Beyond the Bell, they talk about the tools that make a difference, from a refreshing Braille display to a simple black mat on a desk for students with cerebral visual impairment. They also share what they want every BCPS family to know: Our students are smart, funny, and friendly, and a visual impairment is only one part of who they are.
Their hope is that accessibility and inclusion are never an afterthought in our schools.

#TBT to an amazing BCPS Childhood Cancer Awareness Week! 💛🎗️
During Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, our BCPS community stepped up in a big way. From repping our favorite teams to neon, hats, boots, and school spirit, our halls were filled with support for young warriors and their families across Kentucky.
Because of YOUR incredible generosity, we collected 7,972 individually wrapped snack servings to restock local hospital family snack pantries! 🍿🍎
Thank you to every student, family, and staff member who donated, dressed up, and helped make a difference. Together, we show what it means to care for our community.

🌟 Student Spotlight: Persephone Pollard 🌟
When the rain came down hard outside Brooks Elementary, Persephone noticed a problem before anyone else did: the bottom step of the bus was slick, and kids were at risk of slipping on their way to the covered porch. So she came up with her own solution. She held her umbrella over the bus steps and let her classmates step down safely, staying a little drier along the way.
That kind of quick thinking is exactly what makes Persephone, known to her friends as Sephy, an Innovative Problem Solver. She's a 4th grader at Brooks Elementary who noticed something small most people would walk right past, and she did something about it.
We're so proud of the impact she's making!
