16th District PTA

Has a teacher made a difference in your child’s life?

The University of Kentucky College of Education invites you to submit a nomination for the Teachers Who Made a Difference program. The teacher you nominate will be honored at an event hosted at UK's Kroger Field.

To honor a teacher, visit education.uky.edu/teachers

Nominations will be accepted through Jan. 31, or until the event reaches capacity. The number of teachers recognized is limited, so organizers ask that you limit your submission to one educator per year.

Join us this Thursday, November 20th, at 12:00 PM for our 16th District PTA roundtable.

We will be discussing school safety.

FCPS is launching a Superintendent’s Advisory Council on Sustainability (SACS) representing seven key stakeholder cohorts: students, parents, community partners, elected officials, teachers, operations leaders, and district leaders.

SACS will define next steps for implementing prioritized Sustainability Action Plan Supporting Goals through three in-person meetings throughout the 25-26 school year.

SACS is in need of 3 PTA parent representatives. Interested parents should email Tresine Logsdon at [email protected] to be included in our new Superintendent’s Advisory Council on Sustainability.

*Meeting dates/times will reflect majority convenience.*

Happy Kentucky Kids’ Day!

Today we celebrate the heart of our schools and communities—our kids!

Thank you to all of our PTA units across Kentucky for everything you do to support, uplift, and inspire children every day. Let’s keep working together to make every child’s potential a reality!
