📚 Paintsville Community Book Club – Next Selection Announced! 📚

We’re excited to announce our next Community Book Club read:
They All Fall the Same by Kentucky native Wes Browne!

This gripping novel follows a young woman caught in the middle of a high-stakes criminal world, forced to make impossible choices to protect her family. Set against the backdrop of rural Kentucky, They All Fall the Same is a fast-paced story of loyalty, survival, and the consequences of desperation. With strong Appalachian roots and powerful storytelling, it’s a book that will keep you turning pages — and give us plenty to talk about!

Mrs. King's 6th grade scientists have successfully made it to the end of their investigation about the one-way mirror phenomenon! Students worked on an extended response question, self-assessed, and peer reviewed their writing to get lots of good feedback. This will help them write the best version of their final draft. Nice job, Tigers!
