Message to BPCS Students

Dear BCPS Students,

As your Student Member of the Board this year, I want to reach out to each of you. My journey through BCPS - from Powhatan Elementary to Windsor Mill Middle and now as a senior at Western School of Technology - has been deeply has been deeply influenced by the experiences and stories of students just like you. I’ve been fortunate to walk alongside many of you, and it’s this shared journey that inspires me every day.

Throughout my campaign, I spoke about seeing each student as a unique piece of a puzzle. This idea of recognizing and valuing each of you remains at the heart of my work. This year, my goal is to shine a spotlight on you, ensuring that every piece of this puzzle is acknowledged, valued, and heard.

Sometimes, school feels like juggling flaming torches—exciting, challenging, and at times, a bit overwhelming. But remember, if you feel like you’re dropping a torch or struggling with balance, I’m here to catch it and help keep the fire burning bright. I want to make sure that we feel supported, not just as students but as individuals with unique talents.

I’m excited to be on this journey with all of you and make a meaningful impact. If you have thoughts, concerns, or just need someone to listen, I am here for you, and I see you.

Much love,

Ugonma Chike-Kalu
Student Member of the Board
