Estill Springs, West Irvine, and District staff worked with Dr. Joe Bargione from the Bounce Coalition of Kentucky to become Bounce 101 and 102 Trainers. This is a culminating activity from the Bounce Grant our elementary schools have participated in for the past three years. We are grateful for our partnership with the Bounce Coalition. Thanks Dr. Joe and The Bounce Coalition and what you do for communities across Kentucky!

Mrs. Stephanie Arthur has chosen amazing pieces for our Create Academy choir that line up perfectly with this year's theme, “The Art of Being You!” It’s wonderful to see our students singing together to make beautiful music — exactly why we love the Academies in Estill County schools! 🎶 🎼

Our Create Academy students are having the best time! We love seeing them get hands-on and creative with so many incredible projects. They have sang, performed, and cooked up some delicious dishes all week long. Our STEM Academy even closed the week out with a bang during their first rocket launch!

And that’s a wrap on our first week of Reading Academy! 📚 Our students have worked hard in small groups and literacy circles, building their reading skills and confidence along the way. Each day, they look forward to a well-earned recess break before heading to Art. In Art, Ms. Danielle guided students in using oil pastels and blending colors—just like they blend sounds and words together while reading. It has been wonderful to see their creativity and learning shine both in the classroom and the art room.

As KEDC leaders, these dedicated educators continually invest in their own growth, going the extra mile to provide opportunities and meaningful learning experiences for their students.

As we wrapped up another successful school year, Superintendent Charlie Brock treated all district staff to a special Closing Day lunch. With the help of Mr. Cornett, Ronald Mullins, and several staff members, a delicious meal of pulled pork, chicken, brisket, and all the sides was prepared and served.

It was the perfect way to celebrate the end of the year and spend time together before everyone heads into the next chapter of summer. Moments like these remind us how fortunate we are to work alongside such dedicated and caring people.

Thank you to everyone who helped make the day so special. It was great that our staff had the opportunity to relax, connect, and enjoy each other’s company.

So thankful for our Engineer family! ❤️🖤 #EngineerFamily #ClosingDay #OneDistrictOneFamily

On Friday, schools across the district celebrated several outstanding retirees who have dedicated years of service to our students, staff, and community.

Our Central Office staff had the privilege of honoring three amazing retirees: Tonya Ford, David Rice, and Paula Short. Their commitment, hard work, and passion have made a lasting impact on our district, and their contributions will not be forgotten.

We cannot begin to express our gratitude and appreciation for all of our retirees. Thank you for the countless ways you have served, supported, and inspired others throughout your careers.

We wish each of you the very best in this exciting new chapter. Your presence will be greatly missed, but your legacy will continue to be felt for years to come.

Congratulations and thank you for your years of dedication! ❤️🎉 #RetirementCelebration #ThankYouRetirees
