Dear Bernheim Community,
Spring is in the air, and we are thrilled to be entering this exciting season with our BMS students! While there is still plenty of important work to do, the coming months are also filled with opportunities for growth, celebration, and community impact. One highlight of this season is the incredible work of our BMS CEO’s Student Leadership Group, who recently met with the mayor to develop ideas for making a positive difference in our community. Their passion and dedication embody the spirit of BMS, and we can’t wait to see their ideas come to life.
One of their inspiring ideas is to create a raised bed community garden where students can grow vegetables to support and donate to the local food pantry. This project will become a school-wide effort, with multiple classes and students from various areas working together to make it a success. To bring this vision to life, we are seeking donations of soil, small gardening tools, and other gardening supplies. If you are able to contribute, please reach out to April Watkins at april.watkins3@bullitt.kyschools.us. We appreciate your support in helping our students make a meaningful impact in our community!
COMMUNITY NIGHT-UNPLUG AND CREATE
The Youth Services Center is partnering with the Bullitt County Public Library to host a Family Night Tuesday, March 18th from 4:30-6:30pm. The YSC will be providing a free meal and plant pots for families to paint together. Disconnect from social media, spend quality time together, and learn about the importance of screen-free activities for your family!
