Dear Bernheim Community,

Thank you for another great week.  On Friday the CDW, County Attorney, DPP and Director of Safe Schools visited BMS to explain the importance of their words.  Students were attentive and well behaved.  We appreciate the community support. 


This week students enjoyed their short week but were still very busy, students have been analyzing data, filming documentaries and learning in all areas.

Please ask your students to wear Red White or Blue, or Red, White and Blue on Monday.  We are having our Veterans Day ceremony and would like to show our appreciation to all members of our community who have served their country in any branch of the Military.  

COUNSELOR’S CORNER

**World Kindness Day - A Reminder to Spread Kindness Everywhere**


November 13th marks World Kindness Day, a perfect opportunity to remind our students of the power of kindness. As we work together to create a positive and supportive school environment, we encourage students to show kindness in their words, actions, and attitudes. Whether it's helping a friend, complimenting someone, or simply listening with empathy, small acts of kindness can make a big difference. Let’s celebrate this day by spreading kindness throughout our school community and beyond! 


If you have any questions or need counseling support, please feel free to email amy.bush@bullitt.kyschools.us.
