We are very excited to welcome Bailey Jordan Warner as Enrichment Coordinator! Bailey likes to say she “grew up with and in Community Education”, and that insider’s knowledge will help her hit the ground running. A graduate of BGHS, Bailey completed a bachelor of fine arts degree in art and a bachelor of arts degree with a double minor in business administration and marketing from WKU. Bailey brings a focus on marketing, administration, and art to her new position.
“My experience working at the Warren County Public Library has taught me the time it takes to prepare curriculum, activities, and lessons that not only engage community members in the task at hand but also enrich their day-to-day lives – the very reason that so many people seek out educational programs. I believe I can give the Community Education teachers the best support as well as give them the ideal tools to better serve the students.”
Bailey will be working with Enrichment instructors and students to create experiences that engage and excite students. We look forward to seeing Bailey grow the number of classes offered, expanding the number of teachers, and enhancing the variety and quality of the courses taught.
Bailey and her husband, Chase, live in Bowling Green with their two cats, Aspen and Frankie. They like to watch movies and find new recipes to make in their spare time.
You can reach out to Bailey if you have any questions or thoughts about the Enrichment program at 270.842.4281 or [email protected].
