It was a “real world” kind of day as Ashley Johnson’s classes got first-hand financial know-how from Steven Smith, The Cecilian Bank, and Kindra Ewing-Jones, UK Extension Service. Great Q&A session, too.
8th graders will put that knowledge to the test next week as they map out a month-long budget, for a taste of adult life and the financial decisions that go with it.

Lawler Elementary will host a family training on the new Footsteps2Brilliance app on Thursday, January 19, 6 pm. This opportunity is also for parents of young children not yet in school. This App is FREE for any child that lives in Grayson County from birth to school age and is available on any smartphone, tablet or computer. IPads will be available for parents to use but everyone is encouraged to bring their own device.
Shout out to our Board members, some of the hardest-working folks in Grayson County. Say thanks when you see them out and about this month - or any time at all.
Kentucky author Leigh Anne Florence recently visited Lawler with her muse - Woody the Wiener Dog. The kids loved their visit and her inspiration!
