Have you seen this UTV driving around SCMS athletic events? Did you know that SCHS sophomore Dillan Baldwin designed the wrap for it? Dillan completed the side-by-side for his final art project of the 2023-2024 school year, which was a “Product Redesign” assignment, requiring him to recreate or rebrand a product and make it look like it would at a store. "The side-by-side was purchased by the middle school and they asked us to wrap it for them," says art teacher Jeremy Gardner. "I didn’t hesitate to think of one student to see that through. Dillan had previous experience with wrapping and designing because he races a winged sprint car so I asked him to make it. He measured all of it and built it in Adobe Illustrator. Then we got it printed and he spent a day this summer wrapping it. I think the big thing is that we have awesome students who have numerous talents. Dillan was able to utilize his skills and knowledge to design and wrap the side by side. His talents as a graphic designer have garnered him other jobs beyond the school system, therefore he saw to it to create his own brand and company." We love it when students get to show off their many talents!

If you, your group, team or club would like to purchase some new clothing for a student, please contact Karlie Acker for sizes and shopping info.

Spencer County Community; I hope this message finds you safe and well. As you know, our area faced a significant weather event that resulted in the cancellation of school on Friday, September 27, 2024. While decisions like these often prompt varied opinions, the safety and well-being of our students and staff will always be our top priority. On Friday, several of our schools—TES, SCHS, SCMS, and SCES—did experience power outages, and some areas within Spencer County were without power into the weekend. Any time that one of our schools goes without power there are obvious safety concerns, challenges serving meals, and loss of communication. Additionally, I realize that communication on Friday morning was not as smooth as it should have been. I apologize for any confusion or frustration this may have caused. We went to work on getting the issue rectified immediately and were able to identify and correct the cause that led to some not receiving the notification email/text/call on Friday morning. To be certain, we will be conducting tests over the next two weeks to verify that any remaining issue(s) have been corrected prior to Fall Break. Lastly, we will be required to make up for Friday’s cancellation. We will address that in the future as we gain a better handle on the impact of winter weather over the coming months. Your patience and grace are greatly appreciated. Do not hesitate to reach out with questions or concerns. Have a great week! Best, Dr. Willie Foster Superintendent, Spencer County Schools willie.foster@spencer.kyschools.us (502) 477 - 3250
