Do you remember the excitement—and maybe a few nerves—that came with starting middle school? Today, our incoming WJMS 6th graders got a head start at Middle School 101! From meeting teachers to finding their way around, these students are already on the path to a great year. We can't wait to see all these Colts accomplish!

Family is at the center in Jessamine County—and this summer, EJHS art students showed just what that means! 🎨💙

Under the guidance of Mrs. Storch and in collaboration with BES's Morgan Cobb, these talented students created a vibrant mural for their younger peers in Brookside Elementary’s cafeteria. When BES students return, they’ll be greeted by a colorful display that honors history, heart, and heritage—highlighting the lasting impact of the Bingham family on our community.

Huge thanks to the EJHS art team and Mrs. Cobb for sharing their time and talents to inspire the next generation!

Check out the fantastic new structure that will provide shade for our Warner Elementary family when they return to school next week! Thanks to the incredible generosity of Warner's PTO, students now have a shaded outdoor classroom space right on the playground.

This new addition provides a flexible learning environment, protects students from the sun, and encourages more time outdoors for learning and play. We’re so grateful for our supportive community that helps our district enrich the educational experience and meet the needs of every student! 💙
