Dear Bernheim Community,
We hope you all are well and we want to take a minute to SHOUT YOU OUT! We are so proud of the Bernheim School Community. BMS families have been Rock Stars! So many of you are essential workers, you are working from home while keeping up with your children's schooling and all of their needs. You have been truly amazing and we want to shout you out! Please send pictures to karla.elliott@bullitt.kyschools.us so we can shout you out on our social media! We want to fill up the internet with the wonderful things you all are doing during this time. Keep up the great work!
We know there are many unknowns out there right now and we wish we had all the answers. For some questions, such as "what to do with library books?" we will have a tote out front for anyone who wishes to drop those off. That was an easy question, other questions are harder to answer right now so we simply have to wait until more details are released about our state of emergency operations. Thank you for being wonderfully flexible and understanding throughout this entire process. UPDATE: As you are aware Gov. Beshear has stated that schools will be on NTI days for the rest of the school year. I am sure there will be more updates in the next few days. We know there will be many questions and we will do our best to meet the needs of students over the next few weeks. As for 8th grade celebrations and award ceremony, yearbook distribution and locker cleanout which usually occur at the end of the year, we are working on ways to create safe and healthy plans to accomplish these activities. Stay Tuned.
Yearbooks:
We are opening up Yearbooks sales again. We are still working out yearbook distribution, hopefully we will have a plan soon. Yearbook Order Link Here

We are having spirit days even still! Friday was PJ Day and we had several entries! We love seeing the students participate, as well as their parents and staff too! Keep being amazing!
We are still encouraging students to paint Kindness Rocks. They can paint as many as they would like, the more the better! We are also encouraging creativity of any sort! Please take pictures of you, and your families being creative in any way! We have started "for real" cooking at our house, meaning we have read a few recipes and actually cooked as opposed to thawing out! Anything you all are doing we would love to see! Please send those pictures to Ms. Elliot. (karla.elliott@bullitt.kyschools.us)
Resources
Keep in mind there are so many resources out there for our families. BCPS Food service will be delivering weekly meal bulk packs on TUESDAYS.
