Fall is in full swing on Southern's playground where some third graders take part in jumping in piles of leaves during recess.  Below are poems created by students that have been inspired by this experience:

Fall

By Jaden Potter

I am a leaf falling from the tall tree.
I see the grass coming at me.
I feel the wind in my face,
I hear the wind roaring.
I am dropping to the ground and it's a little scary,
I touch the cold ground.
I wonder if someone will collect me.
I dream I can one day soar in the sky again.

Morehead State University students Jenny Matzke and Jerry Perry II are releasing a new children’s book nationwide, titled “Eric and the Christmas Card.”

In the story, when Eric receives a Christmas card without money in it, he is very unhappy. Young readers find out the true meaning of Christmas as Eric learns an important lesson during the holiday season.

Unleashed Series: Chapter 8

I’d lost my breakfast over Red River Gorge, fallen off my horse in the Daniel Boone National Forest, and now I was 65 feet in the air with my nose stuck in a woodpecker hole.

Chloe was the first to notice. “Woody, look at this.” When I didn’t respond, Chloe looked at me.

“Are you OK, Woody?” Chloe asked.

Wag, wag.

The Pendleton County Class of 2013 is already hard at work preparing for a very busy and memorable year. They would like to proudly announce the 2012-2013 Senior Council members.

Senior Council picks the class flower, motto, theme, and colors.  Senior Council also plans senior trip, class night and graduation. We would like to have the most memorable graduation ever. This is why fundraising is so important and we ask for every kind of support and help we can get.
