MVES Mustangs Continue to Lead with Habit 2! During the month of November, MVES Mustangs focused on Habit 2: Begin With the End in Mind! One student from each homeroom was selected for demonstrating this habit—setting goals, planning ahead, and staying focused on what matters most. These Mustangs showed that success starts with a clear vision and purposeful action. Keep shining, Mustangs! ❤️🐴🖤 #MustangPride

Brick Mobile is in the building—literally! 🚧🏗️ Founded in Georgetown and inspired by the creative vision of Dacian Keaton, Brick Mobile grew from a simple idea into a hands-on engineering experience for kids. The company is owned by Duane and Dacian Keaton, and after twenty years of teaching in the Fayette County School System, Duane now brings his passion for learning and building into schools across the region. This week, MVES students are diving into Duane’s “Tumbling Towers” lesson, where they learn how tall buildings are constructed, explore the basics of structural integrity, and get insider tips for building with LEGOs. Then comes the big moment—the tower tumbler test! Today’s record? A towering 46 inches that survived five full seconds of shaking! 🎉 Every class, K–5, will get hands-on time with Duane throughout the week. ✨ And don’t forget! Join us Friday, 4–6 PM at the Farmer’s Market (108 Richmond Street) for a FREE family LEGO play event—thousands and thousands of bricks waiting to be built into something amazing. See you there! ❤️🐴🖤 #MustangPride

This month, RCS’s Leader in Me focus was Habit 2: Begin With the End in Mind. Our MVES Mustangs—and our entire community—have been putting this habit into action. The end in mind was feeding thousands of members of our Rockcastle community. Students donated food for Kenna’s Kitchen, and FRCYS students helped count and organize the donations. High school students prepared food before the event, and many volunteers helped cook, pack boxes, and deliver meals. RCS is truly a community of leaders.

Our kindergarten students enjoyed learning about the First Thanksgiving! 🐴❤️🦃

So proud of our Mustang Girls Basketball team! 🏀❤️🐴🖤 Their accomplishments this season go far beyond the scoreboard. These girls have grown as players, built character, learned the lingo of the game, and shown what it truly means to be dedicated teammates. From showing up to practice, giving their time, and pushing themselves to get better each day—they’ve done it all with heart. We are so proud of each and every one of these girls. They make Mount Vernon proud, and we love them! ❤️🐴🖤 #MustangPride #GirlsBasketball #MountVernonStrong #ProudMoment
