| What’s new? Wed, 6 Aug 2008 10:53:16 -0500 Students at Potter Gray found themselves walking new hallways and eating in a new cafeteria Tuesday. At the elementary school, a door that once led to the outside now leads students to a new wing with a cafeteria. Change is evident across both Warren County Schools and Bowling Green City Schools as they opened this week to begin a new school year. The changes include building additions, construction and online services. For both school systems, construction is at the top of the list. During the summer, Bowling Green Schools worked to add four classrooms and a cafeteria at Potter Gray Elementary School, resurface the track and put up lights on tennis courts at Bowling Green High School and make interior improvements at W.R. McNeill and Dishman-McGinnis elementary schools. At both Dishman-McGinnis and McNeill, students walked into school buildings with new tiled flooring and freshly painted walls. At Dishman-McGinnis, students were treated to new bathrooms. During the school year, students at T.C. Cherry Elementary School will watch a new building being constructed. The county school system is also set to rebuild Bristow and Richardsville elementary schools. The design of Richardsville incorporates the stone and gym flooring from the old school into elements of the new school. The new school will have a north-south orientation to maximize the use of natural daylight, which reduces the use of artificial lighting and overall energy use. Both elementary schools are on schedule to be bid in September. Warren County Schools are also in the process of constructing an aquatic center that replaces the T.C. Cherry pool and a new middle/high school at the intersection of Rich Pond and Nashville roads. Both projects are on schedule, according to Sherman-Carter-Barnhart’s Kenny Stanfield, the architect for the school district’s projects. County schools are also increasingly reaching out to parents through the Internet. Don Sergent, the school system’s public relations coordinator, said this year, parents can find bus routes on each school’s Web site. Also, the school system now has in place an Internet-based meal pay system. The system allows parents to prepay for their child’s meals online, said Gina Howard, food service and nutrition director. The school system’s food service and nutrition department is changing to a new computer system, and each child will be assigned an identification number, Howard said. “So many people are going online, making payments in so many ways,” she said in a previous interview. “We felt this was a way for parents to do the same, making payments for their student’s breakfast and lunch.” |
| Kupchella goes to Briarwood Wed, 6 Aug 2008 10:53:20 -0500 Jason Kupchella walked out of Western Kentucky University and into an administrator’s position with Warren County Public Schools. Kupchella is Briarwood Elementary School’s new assistant principal. “The day I was in my last Rank I class was the day (Briarwood Principal Debbie) Richey called to set up an interview,” he said. “Things moved fast.” A 1987 graduate of Warren Central High School, Kupchella earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees and now his Rank I certification in administration from WKU. He said he received his Rank I certification this summer. The job for assistant principal at the elementary school was posted as vacant at the end of May, and Kupchella said he called to let them know he was interested. Kupchella said he chose Briarwood because he was impressed with Richey. He said as part of the certification process he had to observe a school, and he chose Briarwood. “I was impressed with the school,” he said. “It is one of the top elementary schools in the area and I felt comfortable with Ms. Richey, and I felt we would have a good working relationship. “I think things happen for a reason, I suppose.” Kupchella has been in education since 1992, starting at Warren East Middle School, where he taught for five years. Then he spent a year as a teacher and coach in North Carolina. Upon returning to Bowling Green, he taught at Bowling Green High School for nine years and coached the girl’s basketball team. Kupchella returned to Warren County Schools as a math teacher at Greenwood High School last school year. While he said he “really enjoyed” teaching at Greenwood, he said administration was an avenue he was interested in. “I had been coaching basketball while I was teaching,” he said. “Once I finished coaching basketball, I felt I was ready for something different ... I felt like the next step to take was into administration. It’s a different challenge ... anybody in the education field feels they’re there to make a difference, and from an administration standpoint, I can do that on a larger scale.” A Louisville native, Kupchella moved to Bowling Green as a junior in high school. He said Bowling Green was the best suit for him. Kupchella said he is not a big-city person nor a small-town person - “so Bowling Green provides the best of both worlds.” And at Briarwood, he is fitting right in. “They’ve been warm and welcoming of me from the start,” he said. “This is the perfect place for someone like me to get a start in administration ... it’ll be an adjustment, but it won’t be a transition I can’t handle.” |

Two sorority members get leadership awards For the second year in a row, two members of Western Kentucky University’s Delta Gamma Chapter of Kappa Delta Sorority received the Corre Anding Stegall Leadership Award, which was presented this summer during the sorority’s National Leadership Conference in Boston.

In 2007, WKU’s Jeanne Johnson and Tori Theiss were honored during the sorority’s national convention in Palm Springs, Calif., and the WKU chapter also was named to the top 10 percent of Kappa Delta’s chapters nationwide. In addition to previously serving Kappa Delta as secretary, Shenanigans chairman and Leadership Excellence chairman, DeRosa-Reynolds has served as Panhellenic president and recruitment chairman, Student Government Association senator and student representative, Southeastern Panhellenic Conference special events coordinator, WKU Spirit Master, LeaderShape advisor and on-site coordinator, Greek Week Blood Drive chairman, High School Leadership Conference student coordinator and Dynamic Leadership Institute Phase 1 presenter.

WKU offering string development classes More students will have the opportunity to participate in Western Kentucky University’s popular Pre-College String Development program beginning this fall. Strings classes will now be open to students from any Warren County elementary school and will be scheduled at two locations on varying days. A meeting for interested strings students and their parents is scheduled for 6 p.m. Aug. 14 at Cumberland Trace Elementary School. Students can register for the program and be sized for their instrument at that time. The strings program offers instruction on violin, viola, cello and bass in a group orchestra setting. Students meet once a week after school and can choose a location that is most convenient for them. “Through participation in the strings program, students not only learn to play an instrument and read music, but they learn about teamwork, problem-solving, self-discipline and self-expression,” said Sarah Berry, professional in residence at WKU and county strings program instructor. Beginning classes for new strings students in fourth through sixth grades or those with one year or less of experience will be at Natcher Elementary School on Mondays and at Briarwood Elementary School on Tuesdays beginning Aug. 18. Intermediate classes for students in fifth-sixth grades who have taken at least one or two years of instruction (in the schools or privately) will be held at Natcher on Wednesdays and at Briarwood on Thursdays beginning Aug. 13. All class times are from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tuition for the 2008-09 year is $100 per semester for elementary school students. Classes at Drakes Creek Middle School and Cumberland Trace Elementary School will maintain their same schedule during school hours. Parents from these schools may also participate in the open house scheduled for Aug. 14. As an optional enhancement to the program, a Warren County Honor Orchestra for intermediate strings students will meet every other Friday at Drakes Creek Middle School. The orchestra will give students more opportunities to perform in and with a large ensemble. The first concert for the WCHO will be at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 18 at Cumberland Trace Elementary School. — For more information and to download a registration form, go to the Continuing Education Web site at www.wku.edu/ce.
