Students do not forget tomorrow is hat day!
This is to say Hats Off to Our Military!
Greenup Schools will dismiss at noon today 4/11/24 for impending storms predicted to have 50MPH winds and cause flooding. Storms from last week have also created this need, as many roads were just repaired but could wash out easily. All school events this evening are canceled. Please stay safe Musketeers!
Come and join us for Parent and Community Night. We will have a free pizza dinner and Kona Ice! Our students will be sharing information that they learned about their teachers during our passion project. Also, teachers will be here for you to talk with them about your student.
Mrs. Fraley's classes took part in an eclipse activity with Oreos! Students had to use Oreos to show the path of the moon in front of the sun during the solar eclipse.
Don’t Forget! Coming up this week! McKell Middle is having a family painting night when we return from Spring Break!!
This will be a great time, where Mr. Blevins will show you how to paint something spectacular! Join your student and enjoy a painting adventure!
April is the month of the military child. As a Kentucky Purple Star school we are going to have special spirit days throughout April to support our military! We hope you join in on the celebration!

THE FARM @ MCKELL MIDDLE
Who would have thought the courtyard area at McKell would be a farm! Bailee Miller brought her steer to show our agriculture students. Her dad said “farm raised beef is not about the quantity but about the quality” Lookout soon for what’s next!
On Friday we had grade level assemblies to recognize our 3rd 9 weeks “A” and “A-B” Honor Roll Students. At this assembly we also recognized our students who had perfect attendance for the 3rd 9 weeks!
We had a special visitor hop into Ms. Fritz's class today! Keep an eye out in the halls you may spot the bunny hopping around!
The agriculture class completed a project called "Getting Batty About the Ecosystem". At first, students were afraid of setting out bat houses to bring more bats into our area. However, after students did a research project, they learned that having bats around is actually a good idea because they are so beneficial! They discovered that bats eat LOTS of bugs (especially mosquitos) and some bats are even pollinators; both facts are extremely beneficial to the farming community! After researching where to place them and then scouting out the school's property, students found the ideal location and hung the bat houses...and now we wait. The agriculture students are invested in making a more diverse and healthy ecosystem in our little area in Kentucky!
