A few third graders were treated to a visit from their neighbors at Carroll County High School before Christmas break began.
Co-curricular students taught by Hannah Marsh and Kendall Clifford made ornaments for the children in Natalie Abbott and Cassandra Southworth’s classes. They also read books with the children and colored with them. The groups even enjoyed cupcakes as a treat from the Cartmell classes. (More photos on the district Facebook page.)
Enjoy the holiday break!
Thanks to the Council for Better Education for their work in identifying the shortfalls in SEEK (Support Education Excellence in Kentucky) funding across the Commonwealth. This is how Carroll County Schools have been impacted since 2008 and what we need the Kentucky General Assembly to fund over the next two budget cycles. The SEEK funding program is a formula driven allocation of state provided funds to local school districts. The Council for Better Education is a nonprofit corporation founded to ensure full implementation of Kentucky’s constitutional commitment to our students and our common schools.
We encourage everyone in Carroll County to stay informed about school funding shortfalls and the impact it has on our students.

Effective immediately, no vehicles will be allowed to drive in the bus lane in front of Carroll County High School's main entrance between 7:15-7:45 a.m. Student safety is paramount for Carroll County Schools and it has become necessary to restrict access to this area. Drivers should enter the student parking lot through the first gate (closest to the football field) and drop off students at the stop sign.

#MondaysCanBeBeautiful
Final numbers are still being calculated, but Carroll County Schools collected more than 4,500 food items for the Carroll County Food Pantry last week. Great job Panthers!!
Cartmell Elementary student Emily West is the first Carroll County student to enter and win a Star pageant, which is designed for special needs children.
She won Miss Kentucky Star Personality Supreme recently and will compete in the national competition in July. She also won the Rising Star award, which her mom Taylor West said means she’s going to do great things.
“I like pageants,” she said in a previous interview with the aid of a communication device. “I like to dress up.” Emily has a genetic condition called Sjogren Larsson syndrome and she has cerebral palsy. The syndrome causes her body to not create fatty acids. This affects her skin, intellectual abilities and speech.
Emily collected nearly 2,000 items for the Fairview assisted living center as part of the pageant and will continue to do other humanitarian projects before the national competition this summer.
“Emily is ready to make her county and community proud, but she is also excited to reunite with her friends that she made in Lexington,” Taylor West said. “Emily is more than just a pageant star; she is a friend, a warrior, and a wonderful person to know. We firmly believe your differences make you beautiful and that's what Amerifest is all about.”
Anyone interested in donating items for Fairview or supporting Emily should contact Taylor West at taylorroark26@yahoo.com.
