• Congratulations to Amanda Sigmon, 5th grade teacher at Collins Elementary, who has received the Campbellsville University Excellence in Teaching (EIT) Award.  The purpose of the EIT program is to recognize quality teaching and learning taking place throughout Kentucky.  

AMAZING!   Field days at RA  Jones Middle School have changed.  With a focus on having all students physically and mentally active, the Physical Education Program (PEP) teachers created an Amazing Track and Field Day.  Like TV's Amazing Race students work in small groups to achieve a variety of tasks earning clues to send them to other countries (events.) Spread out across  the entire outdoor area at Jones Middle School, Students visited  countries such as Brazil and correctly  measured the  soccer field. In Argentina, they measured their endurance by pushing a wheelbarrow filled with weights. In China, they tested their knowledge of the human skeletal  system.  Throughout the day the students worked together to roam the world using their collaborative knowledge, skills and creative thinking.   The PEP teachers aim of keeping students physically activity and fully engaged was achieved. 

Throughout the year, teachers and staff members at Conner High School have the opportunity to nominate a student who they believe has demonstrated one of the three virtues of Conner High School; Pride, Integrity and Honor.  This character pin is an elite honor.  18 seniors at Conner High School earned all three pins this year and were recognized on Senior awards night with a college savings account presented by the Bank of Kentucky. 

Congratulations to:
