Warren County Public Schools hosts holiday open house for community
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Warren County Public Schools held an open house on Tuesday afternoon to celebrate the holiday season and the partnerships they have that strengthen our community.
“We welcome not just our families and staff, but certainly our business and industry partners. We are blessed to be in a community that not only provides us support each and every day, but also reaches out to see if there’s any way they can support our students and our families… and really, this is just our opportunity to say thank you and really how blessed we are to be in such a great community,” WCPS Superintendent Rob Clayton says.
One part of the celebration involves each school making a snack or dessert, which is a chance for them to come up with something unique to make.
“Our nutrition and dining department is extremely proud to be a part of this event every single year. It’s an opportunity for our staff to showcase some of the talents that they have and provide just some great food for our community. We’re so excited for everyone who came out today,” Nutrition and Dining Services director Kelly Holt says.
Some of the favorites included sausage balls, along with many other things that each school brought.
“Some homemade oatmeal creme pies that were fabulous, chocolate dipped strawberries and some homemade fudge from one of our employees’ family recipes that I would definitely suggest. There’s lots and lots of things here that are specialties of our staff… and I’m so proud that they decided to showcase for our community and make that opportunity for everyone here to enjoy those,” Holt says.
Of course, the celebration had to happen on an NTI day.
“We were very fortunate that the inclement weather did pass. This afternoon, the roads were safe to drive, and we’ve had a fantastic turnout, which again just speaks volumes about our community,” Clayton says.
Above all, it’s a chance to celebrate the partnerships that help make not just WCPS better, but all of Warren County.
“We want to have the most thriving and prosperous community for all of our families… and we know our schools are a central and integral part of that, and our business and industry leaders, they recognize that. Anytime you can have that kind of synergy between your local governments, certainly your school systems, it’s only going to benefit the greater community,” Clayton says.
