One idea and a simple challenge led to a van load of toys and coats for area children. It started with Cassidy Pfefferkorn, a third grader at McNeill, learning about Toys for Tots on the radio and challenging her classmates to help make a difference in the community.

As we face colder temperatures and forecasts with occasional precipitation, the possibility increases for the delay or closing of school. During the winter months Transportation Director Mike McCloud and Superintendent Joe Tinius keep a close watch on the weather. If there is a possibility for snow or ice, they spend late evening and early morning hours checking road conditions, listening to forecasts, and communicating with surrounding districts. Their cooperative efforts determine if the roads are safe for our students and employees. If the decision is made to delay or close school, our district will make every effort to notify parents, guardians, employees and the community as soon as possible.

Two teachers from Bowling Green High School, Lisa Correa and Sandra McCoy, have recently earned National Board Certification after completing the rigorous certification process and performance-based assessments. Correa and McCoy are among twenty-one current Bowling Green City School teachers to earn the NBCT distinction. 

Bowling Green City Schools are excited to participate in the third “Spread the Red Education Game” at Western Kentucky University on Wednesday, January 8, 2014. The WKU Lady Toppers will host Georgia State in front of a crowd of approximately 2,100 area school children, including Bowling Green City students from grades 3-8. Details of the event were announced at a press conference on December 3.

Bowling Green High School A Cappella group will present “A Taste of Christmas” Friday, December 13, and Saturday December 14, at 7:30 p.m. each night at Bowling Green High School.  This musical extravaganza has become a holiday tradition enjoyed by current choir members, BGHS choir alumni, and friends and family.  The event provides holiday treats and refreshments to enjoy throughout the performance.  It is a great way to get in the Christmas spirit.
