On Tuesday night, September 27th, Morgantown Elementary School hosted their Arts, Humanities, and Practical Living Family Fun Night. The purpose of this event was to give families the opportunity to meet with their child's teachers and learn what they are being taught throughout the year.  These classes are called “specials”.  The term "specials" is used in reference to the art, library, counseling, music, and physical education classes that MES offers. 

Our hearts are full of gratitude when we say many thanks to family members and friends for all acts of kindness and sympathy: food, flowers, cards, visits and kind words spoken to our family regarding the recent passing of a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend, Inis Marie Swift. We want to express special appreciation to White Ridge Church for providing immeasurable love and support, the nurses at Bowling Green Medical Center Critical Care Unit for providing attentive care to Inis and her family and Jones Funeral Chapel for professional and caring service.

The Rochester Festival was held Saturday at the Rochester Park.  Beauty pageants, an art show, a car show, different craft vendors, hayrides, music, games, and food were the order of the day(and night).  The heat was good for bottled water sales too as they sold out by night. 

The first-ever art show, the Butler County Pride Visual Art Project, was a success. Listed below are the winners:

Morgantown Bank & Trust held their 4th Annual Ice Cream Social on Saturday at the Main Bank location. The event featured The Rose Band and The Dusty Road Boys.
The drive-thru lanes made perfect face painting stations.  Inflatables and games were a huge hit with the children.
According to Tom Jones, Bank President, this event is just one of the ways to show the bank's appreciation to the community.
Free ice cream, music, and fun turned out to be an excellent way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

Inspired by fellow retired teacher, Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus, Butler County Retired Teachers Association members collected essential school supplies this month and will collect again in December for the Family Resource Center to give students in need the right tools for school.
