Students in Mr. Blake’s Art classes have time to doodle from time to time and submit them for the “Dilly Doodle” Board. One doodle is picked each month as the Artist of the Month. For October, Izzy McGuire is the Artist of the Month at MVES for her doodle “Grief” ❤️🐴🖤 #MustangPride

Rocket Habit of the Month: Be Proactive! ✨🚀

This October, we’re focusing on Habit 1: Be Proactive — taking charge of your actions, words, and choices. Instead of reacting to what happens around you, choose a positive response and focus on what you can control.

Attention Mustangs: the first Academic Team Practice is tomorrow! ❤️🐴🖤 #MustangPride

October is National Principals Month — a time to recognize the exceptional leaders who guide, inspire, and empower our schools every single day. 🚀

Our principals lead with vision and purpose, nurture growth for students and staff, and help shape the future of our Rocket Leaders. Join us in celebrating their dedication and the lasting impact they make across Rockcastle County Schools!

Attention local businesses and churches: We are searching for participants for our Third Annual MVES Trunk-or-Treat. Let us know if you are interested in participating! 🎃🐴🎃

🚀 Starting tomorrow, we’re launching a brand-new series: Rocket Habit of the Month! 🌟

Each month, we’ll spotlight one of the 7 Habits from the Leader in Me framework — powerful principles that help students build leadership, responsibility, and strong character. These habits connect directly to our Portrait of a Rocket work, guiding learners to lead themselves, collaborate with others, and grow continuously — in school and beyond.

Stay tuned as we explore each habit and highlight the many ways our Rockets put them into action every day! 🚀💙

Second grade had a bushel of fun learning about apples and exploring Haney’s Apple Orchard today. It was a beautiful day to have a picnic lunch and we ended with some play time.

Mustang Week-at-a-Glance! ❤️🐴🖤 #MustangPride

Mrs. Shepherd’s first-grade class had a bushel of fun during their apple-themed week! Students explored the apple life cycle, made apple volcanoes, taste-tested different varieties, and created apple pie-scented playdough. They wrapped up the week by making homemade applesauce and celebrating Johnny Appleseed’s birthday with a fun directed drawing activity!
