Our BCMS eighth graders recently hosted a Job Fair as part of a project-based learning experience focused on career exploration. Students researched careers, explored education and skill requirements, and shared what they learned with families, classmates, and community members. Great job to our students for the hard work and preparation they put into this event. Check out the story here: https://www.wnky.com/barren-county-middle-school-students-host-job-fair/

Driving a bus full of students isn’t just a job…it’s a daily adventure. Early mornings, tight turns, and a whole lot of personalities behind you. And while our drivers are behind the wheel, it takes an entire transportation department to keep things moving, from routes to repairs and everything in between. Thank you for showing up every day with patience and care. You’re often the first smile our students see and the last goodbye of the day, and we’re grateful for each of you.
