Club Day! 🎸
This morning, our guitar club met up to strum some chords and bring some rock & roll to the BCMS hallway. Looks like we might have a few future rock stars in the making! We just hope they remember us when they make it big.
This is what club day is all about, sharing hobbies, making new friends, and connecting over the things we love. Good work Pirates! Keep practicing those chords!

Music to Our Ears! 🎶
Last night Conkin Gym was packed with Pirate families and friends, excited to cheer on our 1st and 2nd graders as they took the stage!
Under Ms. Talley's direction, they sang songs about frogs and bears and fish, and performed a number of themed dances and games. For a few songs they even got out the xylophones, and the crowd loved every minute!
After the show, families enjoyed a special display of student artwork, and our young performers left the gym feeling proud, confident, and full of joy. What a talented group of artists!
Thank you to everyone who came out to support our students, and to our incredible staff and volunteers who made the evening run so smoothly. We couldn’t do it without you!

Supporting Every Mind at Berea 💛
Every school needs a strong network of support. At Berea Community, we’re proud to have our incredible ACCESS Team, dedicated mental health professionals and school psychologists who help students and staff build healthy habits, navigate challenges, and remember to “Be Gentle to Your Mental.”
Through the ACCESS Grant and the Southeast/South-Central Educational Cooperative, we also host graduate-level mental health interns each year. These interns gain valuable hands-on experience while providing meaningful, day-to-day support to our students and staff alongside our amazing counselors and psychologists.
📣 We’re now looking for mental health interns for the 2026–2027 school year!
Know someone who might be interested? Have them scan the QR code on the flyer to apply!
But ACCESS at Berea is more than a program, it’s a community effort. Berea has adopted the "ACCESS" concept to include a long list of leaders and administrators throughout our school, who all serve our students and communities thorough a mutual effort to improve morale, encourage healthy habits, and provide support where it is needed. This ACCESS Team hosts a number of mental-health-focused events and family engagement nights for our Berea families throughout the school year, as well as organizing care for our staff during Professional Development days and more. This is a team that truly cares about the mental well-being of all the students in our schools.
👕 Want to support the ACCESS Team?

Field Trip! 🚌
Earlier this week, our 3rd graders visited the Lexington Children’s Museum for a day full of discovery and hands-on learning!
Students explored hands-on exhibits and participated in a special Bubble Science enrichment program, where they learned about the science behind bubbles through interactive experiments and demonstrations. It was a fun and engaging learning experience for everyone involved.
A big thank-you to the wonderful folks at the Lexington Children’s Museum for hosting us, and to our amazing teachers and bus drivers for making the day run so smoothly!

We’d like to extend a huge thank-you to our community partners, Whitaker Bank and The Okonite Company, for their continued support of our FCCLA program!

🎨 Berea College Student Craft Continues Ceramics Projects with BCHS Geometry Students!
This week, Berea College Student Craft Outreach made a visit to Ms. Holland's high school Geometry class for a lesson on ceramic pottery! With support from Program Director Steve Davis-Rosenbaum and a team of Student Craft Educators, students practiced applying the class's geometry lessons to the process of creating ceramic mugs, taking measurements and calculate volume, circumference, and shrinkage after they finish.
It’s one thing to learn geometry on paper, but experiences like this bring those concepts to life. Students worked with real materials, solved practical challenges, and saw firsthand how math plays a role in our everyday lives. These kinds of projects help build problem-solving skills and confidence that they'll take with them far beyond the classroom.
We are so thankful for this wonderful partnership with our neighbors right up the hill at Berea College. We couldn't be more excited to offer our students this hands-on experience, learning from experts, and applying their skills to make one-of-a-kind works of art (and math!). Thanks to their generous support, all instruction and materials are offered at no cost to students.
We can’t wait to see how these projects turn out!
