Inspiring the Next Generation of Leaders at BCPS! 👑
It has been an absolutely incredible week for our district! We were honored to have Miss Kentucky, Ariana Rodriguez, visit several of our BCPS locations, including a very special stop at Bullitt Lick Middle School.
Ariana captivated our students with her powerful story of resilience, proving that adversity and obstacles can be transformed into stepping stones for success. From sharing the vital importance of Kentucky agriculture to leading our Bobcats in the empowering affirmation, "My Future is Mine!", her message resonated deeply across our schools.
We are especially proud of our BLMS students and staff for their heart for service! To support Ariana’s foundation, The Lucky Ones, they spent the week collecting a "mountain" of items for the "Share a Little Luck" Birthday Bag Drive. These donations will ensure that children in foster care feel seen, celebrated, and special on their birthdays. 🍀
Thank you, Miss Kentucky, for pouring into our students and leaving a lasting legacy of wisdom and inspiration at BLMS and throughout BCPS. We truly appreciate you!
