Dear Bernheim Community,
It’s been a fantastic full week here in Bruin Nation! Our students and staff have hit the ground running, diving back into learning with engaging presentations, exciting project launches, and targeted instruction to set the stage for a strong finish to the year. A big shoutout to Ms. Jennie from the Turnaround Center for treating our Cubs House and Mrs. Loudermilk’s advisory for their generosity in December’s Community Contributor Food Drive! We also came together for our annual Hoops for Heart charity game, bringing the spirit of UK vs. UofL to Bernheim for a great cause. And, of course, Henry Clay was thrilled to welcome everyone back with his usual happiness in the halls. Let’s keep the momentum going, Bruin Nation!
