Kentucky+News

This is where we will post news from the students in Kentucky.

Today is a sunny day in Cub Run. The high for today is 48. The low is supposed to be 33. Last week we had "blizzard like" snow which is very rare for us. We missed school 3 days last week and 2 days this week because of snow. We miss because most of our students ride to school on busses. The busses have to travel curvy and hilly country roads which snow plows cannot access.
