A quick reminder — Greenup Old Fashion Days is THIS WEEK, October 1–3!
You won’t want to miss this very special year as our community celebrates 60 years of Old Fashion Days and 250 years of America.
And we’re especially proud that our very own Captain Dennis Rice and Master Gunnery Sergeant Paul Sites are Co-Grand Marshals for this year's event!
We can’t think of two more deserving people for this honor. We’re so thankful for their continued commitment and dedication to GC, our students and our community. 💚💛
We’ve included the full schedule of events — there’s A LOT happening over the three days, and we hope to see you there!
Congratulations, Captain Rice and Master Gunnery Sergeant Sites!

Dolly Day was something special in GC.
On Friday at 9:25, students and staff across our district paused to read and honor Dolly Parton and the gift of reading. Some students read at their desks, others in small groups. At one school, students even lined the hallways and read together. The photos shared from our schools captured just how meaningful those few minutes were.
And because it was also Musketeer Spirit Day, we even got to hear a special performance of our fight song! It was such a fun reminder that this day was about connection, too.
We hope our students carry something from Dolly Day with them: read often, give when you can, be kind and love one another. What a beautiful way for our GC family to come together in her memory.
Thank you to everyone who helped make Dolly Day so special. Let’s honor Dolly’s spirit every day and leave our little corner of the world better than we found it.

ALL IN FOR AG!
It certainly was a busy week in GC! In addition to Spirit Week and Homecoming, students from around the district had plenty of hands-on fun celebrating All in for Ag Education Week!
We learned about everything from baby chicks, bees and plants to goats, calves, worms and more!
The week wrapped up with Ag Day at the Greenup County Fairgrounds, featuring hayrides, animals, games and plenty more to experience.
It was a fun week — and a great way for our students to learn more about Greenup County’s rich agricultural history and why agriculture remains such an important part of our community today!

What a night we had last Friday night on The Farm!
There was SO much to celebrate — a big win for Greenup County Football, our GC Marching Band being named WSAZ NewsChannel 3 Band of the Week, the inaugural inductees into the Greenup County Football Hall of Fame, and a special recognition of our Class of 1996 and their District Championship football team!
And among all of the celebration, we also took time to remember and honor our good friend and colleague, Daniel Gullett. Daniel’s family and classmates (Class of 1996) joined at the 50-yard line for a moment of silence and a balloon release in his memory — a special moment to remember someone who meant so much to our GC family.
One night. A whole lot of GC history, pride, remembrance and celebration. 💚💛

Have you ever been in a room with someone and just known they’re way smarter than you?
Now imagine there are two of them.
Yesterday may have been IT Professionals Day—but Phillip Coffee and Warren Kelly are so good, they deserve the spotlight all to themselves today!
They’re always helpful, always on point and—as anyone who has worked with them already knows—usually a few steps ahead of everyone else in the room.
When there’s a problem, they find the solution—and somehow make it look easy.
Join us in thanking these guys for keeping GC connected, everything running and the rest of us from pulling our hair out when it comes to technology!
We’re incredibly lucky to have them as our GC Tech Team!

Community support making opportunities possible!
A BIG thank you to Desco Federal Credit Union and Fazoli’s for supporting our Greenup County FBLA students as they prepare for an exciting opportunity this fall!
These FBLA leaders will travel to Washington, D.C., November 4–7 to attend the National Fall Leadership Conference, where they’ll take part in leadership workshops, hear from keynote speakers and connect with students from across the country.
Today, Mr. David Bentley and Desco Federal Credit Union donated $1,000 to help cover hotel expenses for the trip. We’re also incredibly grateful to Nancy McKenzie and Fazoli’s for a $250 donation toward our students’ expenses.
Opportunities like this mean a lot to our students — and so does having local businesses and community partners willing to help make them possible.
Thank you, Desco Federal Credit Union and Fazoli’s, for investing in our Musketeers!

Before summer break, we met with Kadence Russell as she prepared for an exciting opportunity — attending the Kentucky Governor’s School for Entrepreneurs (GSE).
Now, as Kadence begins her senior year at GCHS, we caught up with her again to hear how it went.
And as it turns out, the experience became much more than she expected.
Kadence admits she was terrified when she first arrived. She didn't know anyone, was two hours away from her family and friends, and wasn't sure what to expect.
But that changed pretty quickly.
“The longer I was at GSE, the more I dreaded going back home,” Kadence said. “I had met so many like-minded people and made so many connections and friendships. It was almost like it was my second home.”
One of the highlights came at Pitch Fest, where Kadence and her team earned second place with their company, Souly Sugar. The group developed the idea for individually wrapped simple syrup packets — an alternative to artificial sweeteners and traditional sugar packets that don't always dissolve well in cold drinks.
But some of Kadence's biggest takeaways weren't just about building a business.
She learned how to adapt when things don't go according to plan — or, as she heard often at GSE, how to “pivot.” She learned to work alongside people with different ideas and perspectives, and she discovered the importance of being confident in what you bring to the table.
And she found something she wasn't necessarily expecting: friendships she believes will last well beyond the summer.
Kadence says she met one of her now-best friends during the very first week and knows there are people in her life today whom she never would have met without taking a chance on GSE.
Looking back, she says she would encourage other GC students to take that same chance.
“If someone else from GC wanted to apply to this amazing opportunity, I would heavily encourage it and help in any way, shape or form that I can.”
Sometimes the biggest opportunities begin by stepping into something that feels a little uncomfortable.
We're proud of Kadence for taking that step — and even more excited to see where it takes her next. 💚💛
