Blue Grass Elementary

Happy Assistant Principals Week to our very own Misty Jenkins! Thanks you KCS for spotlighting one of the best of the best!

Happy National Assistant Principals Week! 🎉 We’re grateful for our incredible assistant principals who support students, staff, and families each and every day. 💛

Congratulations to our Teacher of the Year, Holly Wells!

If you know Mrs. Wells, you can’t help but love her. She has a remarkable, almost otherworldly ability to connect with children, and she uses that gift to help her students grow in extraordinary ways — academically, socially, and emotionally.

Mrs. Wells has impacted countless lives at BGE and continues to make Blue Grass a better place every single day. We are incredibly proud to call her one of our own.

Please help us celebrate her by sharing a note below about how Mrs. Wells has impacted you or your child!

We are so proud to announce that Mrs. Holly Wells has been selected by our staff as the Blue Grass Elementary Teacher of the Year! 💙🦅

Mrs. Wells pours her heart and soul into her students each day and is deeply loved by our staff, students, and families. She has a true growth mindset and sets high expectations for her students—but her greatest gift is the way she builds incredible relationships and makes learning engaging, meaningful, and fun.

We couldn’t be more proud of Mrs. Wells and can’t think of anyone more deserving of this honor!
