✨Concept to Creation: Community, STEM, and Inclusion in Action! ✨
We are incredibly proud of former BCHS student, Brady Rosson, and his classmates from the GE Appliances STEM Program! A few years ago, they set out on a simple but powerful mission: to design a picnic table that makes our public spaces better for everyone by eliminating barriers for wheelchair users.
What started as a classroom project with Mr. Connor at BCHS, grew into a remarkable journey:
✅The team presented their prototype to the Shepherdsville City Council, who fully supported the idea.
✅The design was further developed by engineering students at the University of Louisville.
✅GE Appliances engineers brought the final design to life at FirstBuild.
Now, as a UL Mechanical Engineering senior, Brady got to see his vision fully realized! The inclusive table is available at the Shepherdsville city park for all citizens to enjoy.
A special shout-out to Mike Ekbundit for his continued support of BCPS schools and for helping ensure this project came full circle.
This is our Graduate Profile in action, making a real community impact!

What an inspiring day at Mt. Washington Elementary! We are giving a huge shout-out to the incredible 4th-grade students who hosted their special exhibition, "Ga-Ga Pit Innovative Problem Solvers," on October 1st!
These students took a challenge with their school's Ga-Ga pit and transformed it into a powerful learning experience. Demonstrating the competency of Innovative Problem Solver from the BCPS Graduate Profile, they didn't just notice a problem, they collaborated with local experts to design and create brilliant solutions to make the game adaptive and accessible to all students.
Their dedication as Productive Collaborators and Effective Communicators in presenting their resolution to the school and local community is truly commendable. They're not just playing a game; they're making a positive impact as future Community Contributors!
Way to go, MWES 4th graders! You are an inspiration! 🎉

As National School Bus Safety Week concludes, our heartfelt thanks go out once again to the entire BCPS Transportation Department, our drivers, aides, mechanics, and administrative staff! You are the caring professionals who make the school bus the safest vehicle on the road.
Safety is a daily effort, not just a week-long theme. Please remember these essential tips:
🚌Safety Reminders for Students:
☑️Keep the aisle clear to prevent trips and allow for a clear path in an emergency.
☑️Use your quiet, inside voice.
☑️When crossing, walk at least 10 feet in front of the bus bumper, make eye contact with the driver, and wait for their signal before crossing the street.
☑️When exiting, check that no drawstrings or backpack straps are caught on the handrail or door.
🚌Crucial Reminder for Motorists:
🛑STOP ON RED! When the school bus activates its flashing red lights and extended stop arm, you must stop. This is the law in Kentucky for all lanes of traffic unless a divided highway separates you.
Let's keep up the great work and ensure a safe and smooth ride for all BCPS students throughout the year!

Day 4 of #DigCitWeek is a BCPS Challenge: Don't believe everything you see! 👀 Be a media detective and ask: "Who made this, and why?" Use your critical thinking skills to check sources and spot misinformation. Be smart about what you share!
If you see cyberbullying, be an UPSTANDER, report it to a trusted adult. Your words have power; use them to build others up!

Your commitment to safety, professionalism, and care ensures our students get to and from school safely, and we are truly grateful for the essential service you provide to our community.
✨Today's Safety Tip: At the Bus Stop 🚌
✅At the bus stop, be respectful of others and private property.
✅Arrive Early: Be at your designated bus stop at least five minutes before the scheduled arrival time.
✅Stand Back: Wait in a safe place, at least 10 feet (five giant steps) away from the curb or street.
✅Stay Alert: Do not play, run, or engage in horseplay. Keep electronics put away so you can see and hear the bus approaching and the driver's signals.
✅Be Orderly: When the bus arrives, line up quietly and wait for the bus to come to a complete stop before moving forward.
