Hello friends. I have enjoyed the weather this week. It’s been warm with a little rain, but we need it for the gardens and the flowers. You know the old saying, “April showers bring May flowers.”

APPRECIATION. Michell Grimes appreciates everyone who came out to the old school building to share in his birthday celebration.

As an added volunteer experience Warm Blessings hosted a visiting Habitat volunteer group from Northland University in Wisconsin.

Following dinner, students had a change of pace from building a shed and framing a house to washing dishes, cleaning tables and rolling silverware.

Carissa Breeding, a fifth-grader from Morningside Elementary School, has been honored as a district winner in the AARP/KRTA Grandparent of the Year Essay Contest. Carissa is one of 14 students who were honored in the state of Kentucky. Carissa received a plaque and a $50 check from AARP Kentucky. Lin Linder, president of the Elizabethtown-Hardin-LaRue Retired Teachers presented Carissa with the award at a school assembly May 1. Carissa also accepted a $25 check from the EHLRTA for her fifth-grade class. Principal Joe Nepi complimented Carissa on her accomplishment.
