💫 For our last Beyond the Bell of the school year, we're shining a light on someone truly special: Jenna Blain, teacher at Pleasant Grove Elementary. Jenna walked in the Kentucky Oaks Survivor Parade earlier this month, an incredible moment that reflects the strength, grace, and hope she’s carried through her cancer journey this past year. Through it all, she’s stayed grounded in what she loves most: her students, her school family, and the joy of teaching. We’re so grateful to Jenna for sharing her story, and for reminding us what resilience really looks like. 💛 https://youtu.be/NI5cJgA5VfE #BeyondTheBell #TeamBCPS #SurvivorStrong #MovingForward
