💧 How it started: A 6th grade class project 🌍 How it's going: 197 students + 9 staff in Uganda now have clean water! This fall, Bernheim Middle School students in Mrs. Breeze & Mr. Tingle’s classes raised funds for the Ugandan Water Project, and the impact is real. Their efforts helped install rainwater collection systems that are now providing safe, reliable drinking water to schools across the globe. Our students are living out the #BCPSGraduateProfile in the best way: taking action, showing empathy, and proving that no one is too young to make a difference. Way to go, Bruins! This is what it means to be #MovingForward 💪 Read more: https://www.bullittschools.org/article/2266146 #BCPSCommunityContributor #BCPSSelfDirectedNavigator #BCPSEffectiveCommunicator

📚✏️ Who says learning has to happen in silos? At Mt. Washington Middle School, ELA and Social Studies teachers teamed up with ElevatED Studios to rethink the traditional school day. By finding natural overlaps in their standards, they co-designed powerful, connected learning experiences that made content more meaningful and relevant for students. This kind of collaboration reflects our staff's commitment to #BCPSProactiveInnovation and #BCPSSharedAccountability because when we blur the lines between subjects, we build deeper understanding and more engaging classrooms for our students. There’s no one-size-fits-all schedule. And here in BCPS, we’re proud to keep #MovingForward in how we imagine teaching and learning!

Steven exemplifies the Core Value Service Before Self and lives out our Graduate Profile as a true Community Contributor. His kindness is making a real, meaningful difference in the lives of some of our most vulnerable students. Thank you for being a champion for BCPS kids. 💙 #BCPSServiceBeforeSelf #BCPSCommunityContributor #MovingForward

🚨 IMPORTANT GRADUATION PARKING UPDATE 🚨 Today is graduation day, and we want every BCPS family to have a smooth arrival! Due to facility-wide construction and multiple large-scale events at the Kentucky Exposition Center, parking and access routes will be different than in years past. 🏗️ Major construction is happening around the Fair & Expo Center, including the closure of our usual graduate lineup area near the Pavilion and Lot K (see orange zone on the map). This will impact parking flow and walking distance for all three graduation sessions. 🚪 Gate 4 is OPEN! Good news: Gate 4 (2801 Crittenden Drive) is back open just in time and is your best access point. 🎢 Expect Crowds: Kentucky Kingdom is open and there are multiple tournaments happening this weekend, meaning lots will fill quickly. Be prepared to park further away than usual and walk a greater distance to the venue. 📍Parking Map: http://kyexpo.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/KEC-HSGradParking-Map-v2.pdf 👟 Leave early. Wear comfortable shoes. This change is due to external logistics at the Expo Center, and we want to make sure every family has time to adjust and arrive safely.
