Bowling Green Junior High: Wellbeing in Action

BGJHS students spent Wednesday focused on healthy choices and supporting one another. The day included interactive lessons on the health risks of vaping with strategies for positive self-care. A second session covered the topic of being an active bystander, standing up to bullying and creating a supportive school environment.

A highlight of the day was the wheelchair basketball game; appreciating diverse strengths, teamwork, and belonging within our school community.

The day ended with a pep rally celebrating student athletes.

Thanks to Bowling Green Parks and Recreation and Hope Harbor for their help with hosting today's sessions!

🏁 Cruising into Greatness! 🏁 Members from the Cultural Awareness Corvette Weekend, Inc. (CACW) partnered with the National Corvette Museum and stopped by Parker-Bennett-Curry Thursday afternoon. CACW is designed to celebrate African American Corvette owners and enthusiasts, but is welcoming to everyone who shares a passion for Corvettes and community.

Even with a few afternoon showers, students were able to see several Corvettes and talk with CACW members. Students also received gifts of posters and wrist bands.

Thank you CACW for helping us begin the school year with such a fun afternoon!!
