School

Kentucky students in kindergarten through sixth grade have a chance to win $1,500 toward college and $500 for their school in the Dream Out Loud Challenge.

Students are invited to submit an original drawing, poem, essay or video answering the question “How will I change the world after I go to college?”

The challenge, sponsored by the Kentucky Education Savings Plan Trust, is intended to remind families that it is never too early to start saving and planning for higher education.

Grayson County DECA members celebrated Financial Literacy Week Jan. 3-7 by conducting a variety of financial workshops to students at the high school and elementary levels. Due to the snow days, the week-long celebration has been extended throughout the month of January.
