📣 Reminder for 8th Grade Families!
Before Christmas break, I visited classrooms to share information and pass out flyers about the Rogers Explorers program—an incredible leadership opportunity for rising 9th graders.
⏳ The deadline to submit applications is January 31st! Students can access the application, application rubric, and FAQ page at: www.centeryouthprograms.com
This is a wonderful chance for students to build leadership skills, explore potential careers, and represent our school. I’ll also attach the flyer to this post for anyone who needs it again!
Rogers Explorers is a three-day, two-night summer program designed to build leadership, technology, math, science, and community service skills. It’s hands-on, fun, and hosted by partnering colleges including EKU, Morehead State, University of the Cumberlands, Union, and more.
Students from the 45-county service area may apply in 8th grade. If selected, all lodging, meals, and program costs are covered (families only provide transportation).
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!

What a magical day at pre-school! Today was Polar Express Day, and our K–4 students climbed aboard in their cozy jammies for a special visit with Santa 🎅✨ They received treat bags and gifts, and the excitement and Christmas spirit were truly priceless!
To make the journey even more meaningful, our students were also blessed with generous gifts from the Evarts Police Department ❤️💙 We are incredibly thankful for their kindness and continued support of our school family.
And for our students in grades K–8—don’t worry! Santa didn’t forget about you 🎄😉 All aboard again tomorrow, because he’ll be back with more goodies and holiday cheer!
Believe. 🎄✨🚂
