Meade County is hosting an art contest for National County Government Month which is in April. They would like to invite grades K -12 to participate. This year's theme is "design your own barn". The following are the project guidelines: The media can include pencil or ink sketch, paint, or digital media such as graphic art or photographs. The size of the piece can be between 8 1/2 x 11 and 11 x 17. Please put the student's name, grade, school and teacher on the back of each piece of work. The deadline to submit the artwork is Friday, March 29, 2024. The artwork can either be mailed in or county employees will be available to pick up the artwork from the participating schools. All work will be displayed during the month of April at the Meade County Erskine Building and the Meade County Courthouse. The art will be returned to students.
Contests:
Staff Member of the Month
Do you know a staff member that goes above and beyond to be kind and helpful? Please, nominate them for the PTSA staff member of the month. Nomination forms can be found in the office.
Safety
Absolutely no medication on your person, over the counter or otherwise. All medication must be given through the nurse's office.
Backpacks are to be left in your lockers. Our classrooms are very small and backpacks clutter the aisle. It is a safety thing. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
