Had an awesome day with our students at the EKU Upward Bound Saturday Academy. We were excited to have a visit from Kentucky’s First Lady Britainy Beshear in the morning. In the afternoon we had a workshop on government then saw Elf at the EKU Center for the Arts. We’re looking forward to all being together again next month!
