Mrs. Sutterby's Graphic Design Fundamentals class was tasked with creating t-shirt designs for the upcoming WBE Fun Run event. The WBE Student Council got to pick which design would be printed on the shirts. They picked the one created by Zoey Hull, but the designs made by Will Maycumber and Daryanna Salm were in close contention. Can't wait to see the shirts!

I will Send out Daily Updates as to the Status of our Teams as the Week Progresses.
On Friday, February 23rd, we were made aware of an allegation of inappropriate conduct by a Uniontown JH staff member towards one of our students in a setting outside of the school environment. We take these allegations very seriously as student safety and care are always our first priority. We began an investigation immediately and have worked with the Bourbon County Sheriff's Department to gain clarity. The teacher in question, Mrs. Breanne Taylor, was arrested on Sunday, February 25th and has been placed on administrative leave until the investigation is complete.
Please rest assured that when students return to school from the weekend, we will continue to support them and prioritize their safety. We recognize that this situation will create a complex set of emotions for students and staff. We have organized additional mental health support to ensure care is accessible for those who may need it.
Personnel and student information is protected by law. That said, we want you to feel informed and we will pass along the information that can shared as the situation evolves.
Nothing matters more to our district than creating a safe and caring learning experience for every student, every day. If you ever suspect inappropriate behavior, we ask that you bring it to our attention.
These Kids Just Keep on winning. Notice they Won all 7 Rounds in this Competition. Total Domination !!!!! Nice Job Again everyone !!! #Winningstreak
