Several schools shared in $3,028 in grants from the Bullitt County Foundation for Excellence in Public Education. The funds were raised during the first annual Derby gala held in April. The Foundation solicited grant proposals from schools and officially announced the recipients during the November 2011 Bullitt County Board of Education meeting. Pictured L-R: are District Volunteer Coordinator and Foundation charter member Judy Cederholm, Nichols Elementary School Principal Sheri Hamilton, Nichols teacher Amy Ferrell, Crossroads Elementary School Principal Kim Sego, Crossroads music teacher Amy Cuenca, Maryville Elementary School Curriculum Coach Leslie Hicks and Principal Sam Cowan, Bullitt Central High School Principal Christy Coulter, First Federal Savings Bank Vice-President and Foundation charter member Susan Bradbury and Board of Education Chairperson Dolores Ashby. Plan now to support the Foundation by purchasing tickets for the spring 2012 Derby gala. The Foundation will support more schools by allocating grants based on the funds raised during the second annual event.
