Help SGA reach their donation goal for the Golden Matrix Fund!
https://bit.ly/donatedancebluemchs
"DanceBlue is a University of Kentucky student-run organization that fundraises year-round and culminates in a 24-hour no sitting, no sleeping dance marathon. All the money that is raised through DanceBlue is donated to the Golden Matrix Fund, established to support the kids of the DanceBlue Kentucky Children's Hospital Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Clinic."
The Golden Matrix Fund was created to benefit the DanceBlue KCH Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Clinic patients and families. Childhood cancer not only affects the child physically, but it also creates many emotional and financial difficulties for the entire family. The goal of the Golden Matrix Fund is to provide care and support for the kids by bringing comfort to both patients and their families.

Winter Break is here!
The last two weeks of school, McCracken County High School Library was full of students playing Christmas Trivia! Over 7 days, they hosted 4160 students, 57 teachers, 42 class periods, and asked 2212 questions!
Thank you to our entertaining trivia-hosting librarians: Mrs. Thompson and Mrs. Wright! They created a different trivia set for each class period, so students could play multiple times with different teachers. Thanks for making learning fun!
