Congrats to our very own Governor’s Scholar. Let’s go GEM Nora

Today, we honor the amazing fathers, grandfathers, father figures, and GEM Keepers who pour their wisdom, strength, and love into our GEMS every day. Your impact reaches far beyond the classroom. Thank you for all you do for our school community! 💜💚🩷👑

Happy Father’s Day!

Advance Kentucky supported five educators to earn endorsement as trainers, helping expand the network of professionals supporting schools across Kentucky. We are super proud of our Gemkeeper, Ms. Daugherty, a certified Advanceky Trainer in math!!

Are you ready to inspire, activate, and illuminate GEMS?? Check us out on applitrak.

Summer work check-in! How are you doing on your math packet and reading assignment? Congratulations to the GEMS in our Summer Jump Start program who have finished their work!

Reminder! All GEMS have summer work! If you did not pick up your summer work materials, you may call 485-8123 to make arrangements to pick it up.

Congrats to our very own 2nd place Juneteenth Essay Winner, Jayla. Way to go GEM!
