Congratulations to our August Students of the Month!

South Dearborn Middle School students and Aurora Elementary 2nd grade students have been working together on a project called "Flooding Them with Hope." Students met virtually with Lesa Marcum, Owsley County Librarian, to start the project. They created posters and commercials to motivate their classmates to donate needed items. The middle school students in Mrs. Deaton, Miss McCune, Mrs. Powell, and Miss Gabbard's classes have been working on various tasks to bring awareness of the dangers of natural disasters, such as the historic flooding that took place in Kentucky. Students were recently interviewed by Local 12 news about their project!

Mrs. Petty's second grade students recently read "Rulers of the Playground." They then put their engineering hats on to design a piece of playground equipment that works with a push or a pull. Look at these second grade engineers at work!

Students in Mrs. Truitt's class were hard at work being detectives and matching the five themes of geography to evidence task cards. They are working on their knowledge and understanding of human-environment interaction, region, place, location, and movement! They also updated their US map with new information and started the keys for their maps. Geography can be tricky, but these kids are putting in the work!

After reading the story "The Ruler of the Playground," students in Ms. Gabbard's class designed and created their own piece of playground equipment to rule.
