Please help Conner Middle School on Tuesday, November 18th at 5 p.m. as we honor Mount St. Joseph's basketball player, Lauren Hill. Lauren was diagnosed last October with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), a form of brain cancer which is currently an incurable condition. The NCAA granted Mount St. Joseph an exemption to play the game earlier than originally scheduled to accommodate the wish of Lauren Hill to achieve her dream of playing in one college basketball game. Lauren played that game last Sunday.

Congratulations to Boone County High Schools's Jay VanRyzin. Hee was accepted to participate in the 2014-14 TALENTS Leadership Academy presented by the Kentucky Association for Career and Technical Education (KACTE).
The BCHS Volleyball team joined students from 5 other area high schools last month on a project to give back to their community. They made and packed meals for needy families in our region. Through the Chick-Fil-A Leader Academy, over 1 million meals were put together! 22 members of the Boone County High School Future Business Leaders of America chapter volunteered at Pawapalooza, held at the Boone County fairgrounds in October. The event raised $16,000 for local animal shelters and there were 15 pets adopted. By having this event, animals were able to be seen outside of the shelter and grab the attention of potential owners.
