Looking for some fun fall activities? Barren River State Park is hosting two fun events to kick off the fall season!

Happy Custodian Appreciation Day! Today, we are celebrating Mr. William, Ms. Bailley, and Ms. Anna and all they do to keep our school clean and ready for our students each day! Your hard work often happens behind the scenes, but the difference you make is felt throughout our school. Thank you for helping make our school a place where students and staff can learn, grow, and thrive.

PTO needs your help! They are needing auction items for our Fall Festival on November 14th. If you or your business would be willing and able to make a donation for this event, please reach out to Tabitha Gruber at 270-670-2694. Spread the word. We hope for this to be the best Fall Festival yet!

Just a reminder that there will be no school tomorrow- Friday, October 2nd- and next week is Fall Break! We look forward to seeing students back in the building on Monday, October 12th!

Fall into donating blood, your donation makes a difference! Behind every unit of blood is a real person: a child in surgery, a mother giving birth, a cancer patient fighting for more time. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to honor survivors, remember loved ones, and stand with those still fighting. Did you know that many breast cancer patients rely on blood transfusions during their treatment? Chemotherapy and other therapies can lower blood counts, making donated blood a vital part of their care.   Your blood donation can give strength, healing, and hope to someone battling Breast Cancer and many other cancers. By donating blood you’ll join a community of donors helping ensure these patients have the blood they need, when they need it most.
