Education

Linda Cruz, a sophomore at Carroll County High School, has been accepted to the Carol Martin Gatton Academy, Class of 2013.
Gatton Academy at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, is Kentucky’s only state-supported, residential program for high school students with interests in advanced science and math careers.
Cruz will be taking courses with fellow Gatton Academy students and WKU under-graduate students. It is one of 16 such programs in the nation.
She is the daughter of Luz Maria Cruz and Guillermo Aguazul of Carrollton.

Good work, good deeds, good people and, in this case, good teachers, ultimately are recognized and rewarded.

Alice England, a kindergarten teacher at Kathryn Winn Primary, recently received 50 LeapFrog reading books through LeapFrog’s new “Like. Give. Read." program. LeapFrog asked Facebook fans to nominate their kindergarten teachers for their hard work and dedication to teaching young children to learn to read. The names were included in a random drawing for up to 1,000 classrooms to receive the books.

Kindergarten registration for Kathryn Winn Primary will be held at the Carroll County Health Department on Tuesday, May 17 from 11 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. Children who will be five years old by Sept. 30, 2012 are eligible. Current Head Start students must register on this day also.
Bring immunization records, state birth certificate, social security card, physical, eye exam and dental screening records so they all can be photocopied.
These documents must be turned in before the first day of school in August.
