What a fantastic week! We had two guest speakers here this week and our students did such a great job working with them. Mr. Carnes invited Craig Phillips to talk to his health classes around healthy living, avoiding tobacco and vaping and more. Ms. Loudermilk and Ms. Harrod invited the staff from the Parklands to come and help teach students about the effects of human interactions on the environment! Students learned so much from our guest speakers and we are grateful for their time!
HAPPY SCHOOL COUNSELOR/FRYSC WEEK!

COUNSELOR’S CORNER
Please know that students are always able to connect with Ms. Bush for all your counseling needs. Every day we work to create a space for students that is safe and caring. Please encourage your students to be kind. Middle school is really hard for kids, no way to get around it. Self-regulation is a skill that they learn and during these years it is tough. We will continue to work with students on managing their emotions, focusing on what is important and being the good in the world! We appreciate all the support we get from our BMS Community!
FEBRUARY 17 IS WORLD KINDNESS DAY.
The goal is each student works that way on going out of their way to be kind. Start talking with them now, what can they do that might be extra special that week to help support World Kindness Day.
As always please email amy.bush@bullitt.kyschools.us with any questions or counseling needs.
