GOOD NEWS

DECEMBER 2013

Preschool students at the Nelson County Early Learning Center raised $2,558.19 for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital during their Trike-A-Thon on October 26th!  Teacher, Vickie Bryan coordinated the event where students brought their bikes and trikes for the day and spent time riding laps around the bus loop.

Jonah Brown, a BES student will be performing in the PAC production of "The Nutcracker".  The three school winners for the conservation poster contest are:  Emiley Nation, McKenzie Thorp, and Katie Koons.

BES had approximately 150 people attend their December Family Literacy Night. They enjoyed milk and cookies with Santa, received a free book, and went to several literacy centers. The Literacy centers consisted of a Christmas story and a make and take craft or ornament as well as computer centers.

The Bloomfield Red 4^th grade girls basketball team won an exciting A tournament to be the best team in all of 4^th grade which consisted of 22 teams.  The girls won all 4 games and in the final came back to win after being down 9-1 to win 17-13.

Nelson County School District has received recognition for participating in the Kentucky “Bullying:  Be Part of the Cure” campaign and having over 500 online pledges.  During the month of October 2012, an effort was made to improve safety and create a healthy, respectful climate in our schools by educating students, staff and communities about the true definition of bullying, how to be consistent in handling situations that arise and strategies to prevent bullying behavior that can impact the educational process.
