Muhlenberg County Public Schools

We have another PRO Card recipient submitted by Muhlenberg South Elementary... At Muhlenberg South Elementary, we’re proud to celebrate individuals who embody our school district’s Profile of a Learner framework. Today, we recognize Bob and Marcie Peglow, the dynamic duo behind the Kona Ice truck and Travelin' Tom's Coffee truck! ☕🍧 The Peglows are more than just entrepreneurs—they are engaged citizens, showing up at community events and supporting local schools, including ours! They exemplify effective collaboration by working together seamlessly to bring joy and service to our area. Their success comes from being creative problem solvers, finding unique ways to spread happiness and caffeine in our community. Whether it's creating the perfect cup of coffee or a colorful shaved ice masterpiece, they demonstrate the importance of skilled communication in connecting with others. Through their dedication, they also remind us of the value of lifelong learning, modeling what it means to be empowered learners who continuously strive to improve and adapt. We are grateful for Bob and Marcie’s impact on our community and for living out the principles we aim to instill in our students every day!

Each of our five elementary family resource centers received an amazing donation from the Rager family. The eighth annual 'Lil Rager Poker Run was held in July and the proceeds were a record amount. On November 8, Paul and Donna Rager along with their family presented checks to the coordinators to be used to help families in need. Thank you for being a wonderful example of effective collaborators in our community, Rager family!

The Board of Education welcomed incoming board members, Jan Yonts and Logan Porter, yesterday as they took both the written and oral oath for their upcoming terms that begin in January. Congratulations, Ms. Yonts and Mr. Porter!

Happy Veterans Day to all of the men and women who have served our country!

The MCHS Business Program fall advisory meeting was held yesterday at the high school. A variety of community members and business owners, in addition to our business teachers, attended. They shared ways to work together to enhance the educational experience for our Mustangs and discussed ways to ensure the students are prepared to meet the needs of our local businesses and community. Thank you to all who attended. A spring CTE Advisory Meeting, co-hosted by the Greater Muhlenberg Chamber, is being planned for all pathways.

Check out our latest recipient of our PRO Card submitted by Muhlenberg South Elementary... Mr. Isakovic owns and operates Request Express. He contracts with carriers all across the US to help truckers unload freight at places like schools. He was gracious to bring in 24 pallets of new student desks and chairs into MSES. He worked non-stop for over two hours moving freight from the 18 wheeler to his hauler with a lift gate and then to the ground where each pallet of furniture was then manually pulled into the building. He resides in Bowling Green with his wife and kids. He is the perfect example of being Passionate, Relentless and Outstanding. Mr. Isakovic is a true PRO!

There are lots of recognitions that take place throughout the year, especially within the school calendar. National Principal Month is one of those recognitions for the month of October. This group of individuals work tirelessly in leading our schools and we are so thankful for each one!

Central City Lions Club welcomed middle school principals Adam Gish and Jerry Rager to lead their program today. Both principals shared the process our former middle schools went through before merging this year as well as gave an update on how the school year is going.

Here's a great visual as a reminder of how important attendance is for students. #AllinKY

We are excited to be back from fall break and ready to "Do the Work!" Attendance is key to becoming a productive and successful citizen!

Yesterday Ron and Lisa Poole dropped off a check for $755 benefiting the Muhlenberg County Cross Country team.
