Drama Artists visit Bridgeport Elementary!
Recently we were lucky enough to have two drama artists visit Bridgeport Elementary.   These ladies, a director and an actor from the Looking for Lilith Group, worked for two weeks with Bridgeport students in the area of drama. The students in 3rd grade were able to work the most with these residents as the "core" group of students. They used a folk tale of Molly Whoopie to create their own play. It was very exciting to see the students interact with the drama residents and to watch them learn and grow as actors themselves. We would especially like to thank the Kentucky Arts Council for providing funding to help us have the artists at Bridgeport!

2013 FCHS FFA Drive Your Tractor to School Day
The annual Franklin County FFA “Drive Your Tractor to School Day” took place on Friday, May 2. 38 individuals participated in tractor day with such guest as the Kentucky Department of Agriculture Commissioner Mr. James Comer, Ms. Alli Higgs, the Kentucky FFA State President, Mr. Ryan Halligan, the Kentucky State 4-H President, and Mr. Buddy Sampson, the Franklin County High School Principal.

The drivers met at 7:45 a.m. at the Franklin County Extension Office for pictures and breakfast. Many parents, guests, and community members were present as the lawnmowers left first for the high school. The lawn mower drivers, led by Michael Hudkins, cut across Lakeview Park as the tractors, led by John Fehsal, left for the school via Steadmantown Ave. and US 460.

Upon arriving at the high school, the drivers were greeted by the FCHS student body. For some students this is their first chance to really get close to a tractor, so the drivers were excited to talk about the tractors they were driving. Click "Read More" to view photos from the event.
