Byck Elementary School welcomed the community on July 20th for a Back to School Block Party and a great time was had by all!
Students of all ages and from many schools stopped by for school supplies, music, and a bite to eat.
The principal and facilities crew stepped up together to get the job done and showed up on Saturday to keep things flowing. Thank you!

Madison’s dad made the rounds encouraging folks to get a free health screening at the Block Party.
And, after the Councilwoman delivered her spoken word rhyming in time the life story of Ali, this proud gentleman showed his Muhammad Ali t-shirt for all to see.

C-Tez, the famous rapper, brought the excitement and filled the gym with too much fun!
The kids were way too excited and couldn’t wait to get their picture with C-Tez after the Councilwoman got in the groove and learned a few new moves. Gotta see!

Together, we can do this. YES we can!

Folks in Butchertown took matters into their own hands and “adopted” their pocket park.
The Ginny Reichard Park needed a little love and attention, and thanks to all these volunteers, she got more than she bargained for.

Grass and weeds needed cutting, basketball court needed to be repaired and a rusted fence had to come down. See what good things can happen when folks just step up and help. Thank you! |

The approved operating budget ordinance can be found here - https://louisvilleky.gov/government/metro-council/services/most-requested-ordinances
The Mayor presented his budget plan, the Community responded, and we rolled up our sleeves doing the work we were elected to do. No one got everything they wanted and not everything got funded. I voted for the budget because it maintained a focus on public safety by putting LMPD trained Officers on the street sooner than expected and we continued to fund affordable housing in addition to the $41 million provided during the past four years. We responded to the many concerns related to homelessness by providing $1 million for sheltering and services. This will help provide for pets, partners and possessions in homeless circumstances. Complex challenges require common sense solutions and it is our responsibility to provide safer neighborhoods and better services for all. This includes basic needs for food, clothing and shelter.
And yes, we fought for swimming pools and libraries to make sure no one gets left behind. Not our children, not our seniors, not anyone.
There’s room for everyone to help our community be as good as we say it is. We need businesses, healthcare, education, nonprofit and interfaith communities to reimagine their roles and create common sense solutions. Together – we hold the answer. We can do this, YES we can!
Councilwoman Barbara Sexton Smith
