Another huge move forward in agricultural education in GC! Greenup County Farm Bureau delivered a check to McKell Middle School in support of their developing agriculture classes!
Great learning is taking place at MMS that will develop real-life skills and knowledge. The students expressed how much they love being in agriculture classes, and the teachers are excited for them to see the relationship between agriculture, science, and math! Please help us thank our local Farm Bureau!

We want our GC community to be able to join in fellowship, connected by our common goal of supporting the amazing things happening at Greenup County Schools!
Join us on November 4 for our first ever “Friends of GC” dinner at Greenbo’s Jesse Stuart Lodge, hosted by the GC Alumni Association! We’re celebrating 50 years of Musketeers!
Catfish and herb-roasted chicken will be served along with delicious sides and dessert! There will be live acoustic music and singing courtesy of long time GC teacher and administrator Aaron Collier. There will also be prizes as well as many amazing items up for raffle. The best part is that many are made by GC students!
The price to attend is $50 per plate (tax deductible). A social hour begins at 6:00 with dinner starting at 7:00. All proceeds go to GCAA’s efforts of providing student scholarships and support for staff.
We will not be able to host this event unless we have enough people to cover the cost of the lodge and catering, so please contact Nathan Sutton with your intentions to attend by Oct. 16. (606) 473-9848 or nathan.sutton@greenup.kyschools.us
**A block of rooms are available should you want to stay.

Thank you for providing our students with very important knowledge today!!

Do you remember when we 80 teachers give up time during summer break to get trained on Project Based Learning? Well, this is one of those teachers.
Meet Ms. Gamble! Here is what she had to say when we asked about her thoughts on moving forward with new ideas for the classroom. GC is blessed to have teachers who are willing to do what's best for students in this ever-changing world!
"Children are born with curious minds and they have a voice to express that curiosity. As teachers, we should encourage their curiosity and creativity. Our students are our future... and with some guidance and encouragement the future will be in great hands."

Please help us congratulate Byron Nunley!! This Musketeer is a semi-finalist to become a National Merit Scholar! Students are identified for this based on their PSAT scores, and Byron’s scores were near the top of the charts. He actually received a perfect score in some areas!
There is a lot more to this young man than a sharp mind, though! His father informed us that he is a black belt in Bujutsu MMA (Byron never mentioned it)! Perhaps that’s why his teachers and staff say that his greatest quality is how humble he is. The list of school activities that he is involved in is nearly half a page, but he takes part in everything from cross country, marching band, Future Business Leaders, and student council!
When we talked to Byron, we were humbled by his response as to how he arrived at such a well-rounded senior year. He credited his teachers and counselors for being "super nice and supportive." He also credited his fellow students for being so inclusive and involving him. For example, he explained that he joined the soccer team after not playing for years due to encouragement from his classmates.
As you can imagine, we are very proud of Byron. We wish him the best as he continues through the process of becoming a National Merit Scholar. Good luck, young man! This is just one of the many extraordinary things he’s going to accomplish!

Big thanks to the United Way for their generosity in supporting GC’s Family Resource Youth Service Centers (FRYSC)!
For anyone who doesn’t know what a FRYSC does, they discreetly help GC students and families with anything from providing clothes, school supplies, to food to take home.
We appreciate United Way for supporting our FRYSC’s!!
