🌟 Staff Spotlight: Katey Ford 🌟
Let's shine a spotlight on Katey Ford, one of the invaluable members of our transportation department! 🚌 With eight years of dedicated service to the district, Katey wears multiple hats as a bus driver and on-board instructor.
When asked about the most influential person in her career, Katey credits Lindy Shumaker. Her favorite memory at BCS is when Lindy offered her the OBI position. "I know it's what I'm meant to do," says Katey. "Our transportation department is crucial, and we all strive to do our best. I'm grateful to be part of that."
Outside of work, Katey cherishes family time and cheers on her son at baseball games. For her, being a part of the Creek family means building strong relationships within the Beavercreek District. "I love the Beavercreek District and the relationships I've formed, not only with my coworkers but also the families in the district," she shares. 🚌 #StaffSpotlight #BeavercreekPride 🌟

🌟 Creek Fact Friday! 🌟
Did you know Karen Clark, our longest-serving bus driver, has been driving for the district for almost 40 years? Since August 27, 1984, Karen has been dedicated to safely transporting students to and from Coy, BHS, and Trebein. #CreekFactFriday
On Friday, Trebein’s first graders were visited by our Everybody Counts volunteers to learn about visual differences. Students experienced some hands-on activities: They examined their own eyes with a mirror, read a book about eyes, heard from a non-sighted student, learned about Braille, looked at tactile books and games, worked to use their other senses to figure things out, and used an interactive app to see what their vision would look like with various conditions, like cataracts and macular degeneration. Our Everybody Counts volunteers work to make sure each grade learns about a different type of difference or disability each year to help students understand various conditions and to remember not only that differences aren’t bad, but also that we are all much more alike than we are different.
It was a great day to wear PURPLE! 💜
Thank you to everyone who participated in PURPLE UP DAY to help honor and celebrate our military-connected students!
