A Big Thank You. Happy National School Nurse Day!
❤️ FROM THE HEART 📝 | We invited seniors to write a letter to their favorite teacher. For #TeacherAppreciationWeek, we're sharing a few of the heartfelt responses.

"There were days when I needed more than just a teacher, and somehow, you always knew."

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week. To: Mrs. Lopez. Fern Creek High School Dear Mrs. Lopez, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for everything you've done for me. When I look back on my high school experience, I don’t think about or talk about my grade in your class, but rather, I remember and talk about you. There were days when I needed more than just a teacher, and somehow, you always knew. You are someone who listens without judging, someone who can make anyone feel safe and welcome. Now, as I’m about to graduate high school, I can wholeheartedly say you were one of the most important people in my high school journey. You changed me in ways I didn’t even realize at the time. You made me realize that I really can do anything I put my mind to. I don't think I've said it enough and I will continue to say it, thank you Mrs. Lopez. From Itzel R. 12th Grade Fern Creek High School
🎉 CELEBRATING PRINCIPALS | Every day, our principals show up for their students, their staff, and their communities. They are problem-solvers, encouragers, and visionaries.
