Give Like Dolly Day is coming September 25!
Dolly Parton believed in giving back and helping children dream bigger—and this year, we’re celebrating
that spirit right here in Owsley County through Give Like Dolly Day.
On September 25, we’re inviting our community to join us in giving back to children by supporting Dolly
Parton’s Imagination Library of Owsley County. Your support helps make it possible for children in our
community to receive a free, high-quality book every month from birth to age 5.

Great attendance, OCES! We had a fantastic turnout for High Attendance Day! Our students had a blast with today’s attendance incentive—and we think Mr. Smith and Mr. Mullins enjoyed it just as much! A fun day celebrating the importance of showing up and being at school. Way to go, OCES!

Our students are speaking and we are listening!! Recently, both schools installed Suggestion Boxes in the cafeterias. One of the suggestions we have received multiple times is to bring back Strawberry Milk! Be on the lookout for Strawberry Milk at both schools as available!!

Mr. Smith and Mr. Mullins better be ready this afternoon! OCES students are putting their PE skills to work and practicing their aim for today’s Water Balloon the Principals fun!
