Yesterday was a beautiful day to host a fall festival at Longest Elementary! From a cake walk and ring toss game to inflatables and food trucks, families enjoyed an evening with their students.

Here are more pics from the ribbon cutting for the Paxton Patterson College & Career Ready Labs at the middle school today. Thank you to all who attended and special thanks to all who helped make this dream a reality for our students!

Today has been an exciting day at our middle school. We welcomed local community leaders, surrounding district leaders, and media to a ribbon cutting event in our newly formed College & Career Ready Labs. Christy Rogers with the Paxton Patterson Labs shared the incredible opportunities our students are experiencing through these labs. With the collaboration of several local businesses, Muhlenberg County Schools. and the Felix E. Martin, Jr. Foundation, the district purchased 30 college and career ready labs for the middle school and six labs each for our elementary schools. Visitors were invited to tour the labs and interact with the students as they saw the modules in action. The culinary class at our high school provided a delicious array of refreshments. It's a great day to be a Mustang! (More pics to come)

Michelle Antle and Bethanie Opell conducted a PREPaRE Workshop 2 Training for our district's counselors and school psychologists today. The session equipped participants with crisis prevention and intervention strategies to enhance school safety and emotional support. Attendees gained valuable skills in responding effectively to school-based crises, promoting resilience, and fostering a safe, supportive learning environment for all students. #EngagedCitizens

Our principals across the district met this morning at the middle school and were given a sneak peek of the new career labs. The Paxton Patterson College and Career Ready Labs give students hands-on lessons in a variety of career modules.

This is a free community event to honor our hometown heroes: First Responders.

Several high school students from CTE classes were given lots of practical advice from guest speaker, Sarah Butler, with Wright Implement this morning. Ms. Butler shared the importance of gaining quality skills so students are ready to apply for jobs. She pointed out the top things she looks for in a resume and spoke about job opportunities through Wright Implement.

Several 4th grade students at Longest Elementary completed their first Paxton Patterson Tote this week over electricity. As a final activity, they took on the role of teachers and guided some 1st grade students through a hands-on lesson on circuits. During this experience, the 4th graders demonstrated how a simple circuit can light a bulb and activate a buzzer, applying their knowledge while also strengthening their leadership and communication skills. Administrators and teachers from our high school and Central Office were invited to watch this learning event take place. Congratulations to our LES 4th graders for demonstrating this month's competency focus - Engaged Citizens!
