Local student completes internship... Noah Trump, a student at Rockcastle County High School, recently completed an internship with Appalachia- Science in the Public Interest. The internship was a hands- on, eight-week program over the course of the summer for high school students to learn about gardening and marketing. Each week focused on a different topic such as plant biology, preservation, farmers markets, and working in the community. His pri- mary tasks included working in the community garden, ASPI garden, and at the Mt. Vernon farmers market. Noah’s final project was to cook a meal using as many ingre- dients from the garden as possible. This is the second year that ASPI has hosted high school interns. Upon completing the program, interns receive a scholarship funded through the Grow Appalachia grant. Local high school students are encouraged to apply for next summer. ASPI is a non-profit resource center located in Mt. Vernon advocating for sustain- able development, responsible resource management, and informed personal choices through education, research, and demonstration projects. ASPI is also a partner site for the Grow Appalachia program which addresses issues of food security in Appala- chia by funding garden programs.

RCMS receives donation to help those in need... Rockcastle County Middle School Youth Service Center recently accepted a large donation of food from the Richmond Centre's JCPenny's. The donation was made to the school's snack bag program that provides weekend meals for students and families in need. Amber Cruery, pictured second from left, decides what local charity the asso- ciates at JCP will donate to each month. Because two of the RCMS's own, Cassandra Smith and Lilly Rader, work part time at this JCP, Ms. Cruery asked them if the Rockcastle County Middle School could benefit from one of these months of charity. Ms. Smith and Ms. Rader responded with an ecstatic "yes!" Ms. Cruery then de- cided that some of the charity months the store participates in throughout the year will benefit the middle school directly. The associates at JCP brought in over four hundred food items throughout the month of August to donate to the school.

Each year, students at Rockcastle County High School have the opportunity to enroll in Advanced Placement Courses in order to better prepare themselves for college and to get a jump start on college credits. Students can take A.P. Courses which are quite rigorous in content in social studies, English, math, and science. Each A.P. course concludes with a college-level exam developed and scored by college and university faculty members as well as experienced A.P. teachers. If students earn a 3 or higher on the exams, they can earn college credit at colleges and universities across the country. Rockcastle County High School continues to increase the number of A.P. courses offered to students, and many students have reaped the rewards of their hard work. Last year, R.C.H.S. had a total of 49 students who passed their A.P. exams, and seven who scored at the highest level on the exams. We are very proud of their accomplishments. Pictured are five of the students who earned a score of 5. Front row: Amelia Eversole and Rachel Blair. Back row: Ethan Mattingly, Ryan Martin, and Alex Spragens.
