Kulengowski is a 2009 graduate of Oldham County High School.

Evan Boggs, 10, a student at Centerfield Elementary and Jakob Mutchler, 7,  a stduent at Locust Grove Elementary made it to the top 18 in the semi-final round.

Seth Dewey, 9, a student at Camden Station Elementary made it to the top 9 final round.

Representatives from the La Grange Elementary PTA were among the over 200 attendees of the Kentucky PTA’s third annual Leadership Conference that recently took place in Louisville.  

Chuck Saylors, the first male National PTA President, conducted several workshops on PTA National Standards and Membership. More than 50 workshops were offered to attendees including Working with Working Parents, Cyberbullying, Childhood Obesity, Report Cards, Suicide Prevention, Father Involvement, and Working with your School Board.

One Kentucky high school junior will win a $500 scholarship to use at a Kentucky college of his or her choice — and a photo shoot for the winner’s school. All the junior has to do is tell about the biggest challenge high school students face in 200 words or less.

The “Promote Your School” scholarship contest is sponsored by the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority. Photos from the winning school will be used in KHEAA books and other publications.
