Today, these four ladies treated everyone to an amazing holiday meal! Thank you, Jennifer, Christy, Shannon, and Tonya! You are so appreciated and loved by your Wildcat family!
ACADEMIC TEAM
We had another successful academic meet, traveling to play against our friends at McKell. We did well in subject area testing and played two great Quick Recall matches but came up a little short. Both teams had a great night; the future of GC academics is BRIGHT!
We’re FALLing in love with reading at Wurtland Middle School!
INDUSTRIAL ARTS
Can’t stop. Won’t stop. It’s another amazing project by Mr. Bowling and our industrial arts students. This new cart will serve a multitude of purposes at Wurtland Middle School, ranging from the coffee shop to community events. That’s impressive!
INDUSTRIAL ARTS and HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
There’s a quote that speaks of leaving good in all you do: “Leave footprints of kindness and love wherever you go.” On Monday, a Habitat for Humanity home will be dedicated to one of our own Greenup County families. Look at the special additions that Mr. Bowling and his students crafted as gifts for the new homeowner. Wow! We are so proud of their generosity.

Mr. Doran shares that Melissa Bowling never ceases to amaze him with her heart for students. Always giving and always looking out for "the least of these," she continually strives to make sure each child in the building feels special, feels wanted, and feels like he or she belongs at Wurtland Middle School. Sometimes, it feels like she goes above and beyond what most of us would already consider "above and beyond". She is an asset to our building, for sure.
