North Butler Elementary School recently held a hay bale decoration contest among various groups of teachers and featuring assistance from numerous paraeducators as well as a few parents. These displays were all very unique and creative. Based on observation, it was evident that meticulous planning, proper resources, and precise execution were all paramount in the development of these grand seasonal displays.

I want to thank each and everyone in Morgantown that voted for me and helped elect me to the Morgantown City Council. I will do my best to serve you.
Thanks,

The Kentucky Association of Counties (KACo) visited Morgantown Elementary on Thursday and gave a special presentation to the third and fourth graders. Each student was given a County Government Booklet, which contains puzzles, fill in the blanks, coloring pages, and activities to introduce county government to the students.
