Weekly Info. for May 4, 2023
No school on Friday, May 5th.
Parents, we need your help! There have been emails sent to seniors about important senior events and info but a lot of seniors are NOT checking their email at least daily even after we have asked multiple times. If you are a parent of a senior getting ready to graduate, please make sure they are checking their school email at least once daily.
Seniors who would like to have scholarships they have received to be announced at Senior Scholarship Night on May 11th at 6:00 pm need to fill out the Google Form Mrs. Miracle has sent out twice to their email. Scholarships can be from the school they are planning to attend or private scholarships awarded by a community group or a church. We would love to share and celebrate the class of 2023's accomplishments. The deadline to submit is Wednesday, May 3rd but if you get notified of one after this date please let Mrs. Miracle know ASAP so it can be added to the list. Note: An email with the Google form went out again today.

See attached BCTC flyer about the Orthotic and Prosthetics Technology Program
One of our goals is to introduce high school teachers and students to the O&P Technology Program offered at the Bluegrass Community & Technical College (BCTC) in Lexington Kentucky, on the Leestown Campus. The Orthotics and Prosthetics Technology Program at Bluegrass provides students the specific technical and clinical skills required to perform the work of an O&P technician. The BCTC O&P Technology Program includes general and core curriculum with specific O&P courses, verbal and graphical communication skills, basic human anatomy, working knowledge of measurements and mathematics, and medical terminology leading to an AAS degree in Orthotic & Prosthetic Technology. ________________________________________________________________________________________

I hope this information is of assistance. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. Again, I thank you kindly for your time and consideration.

Hello! My name is Hannah Litkenhous, and I am the Volunteer Program Coordinator for the Kentucky Historical Society. Our campus is located in downtown Frankfort. We work to serve the local community and the whole of the Commonwealth by interpreting Kentucky's past. We host various special events and programs, from our First Friday lecture series to camps. But to make these events happen, we need the assistance of our community members. Currently, we have an increased demand for in-person programming and field trips. That is why I am reaching out to you today. We are in need of volunteers! Specifically, for our VolunTeen Ambassador program, teens ages 13-17 can assist KHS staff with our programs, including Scouting workshops, special events, and our signature school break camps. This is an excellent opportunity to gain work experience, earn valuable service hours for scholarship applications, and meet new friends! Each week of volunteer hours for summer camp totals around 35+, quickly meeting many service club and scholarship eligibility requirements. Plus, we offer many of these opportunities throughout the school year. All new volunteers must apply, interview, and complete a waiver packet and training. Our current training is set for Saturday, May 13, 2023, at 9:00 am and is required for all new and returning VolunTeens. So, be a part of KHS, and join our mission to educate and engage the public through Kentucky history in order to confront the challenges of the future. I hope to prevail upon you to share our inquiry with your group and networks. Whether that is posting our flyer on your community board, forwarding this email, or making an announcement at your next organizational meeting. We'd be happy for any support that you can give. Folks interested in becoming VolunTeen Ambassadors for KHS can find more information and apply on our website. Hannah Litkenhous Visitor Services Manager Kentucky Historical Society 100 W. Broadway ¦ Frankfort, KY 40601 502-782-8070 history.ky.gov
Did You Know... KHS needs your help with cataloging collections, leading tour groups, hosting educational programs, and more? Volunteer today!
