In the spirit of the holiday season of gratitude and giving, we encourage you to share what and who you appreciate most at Model. Send a note of appreciation to your or your child’s past and present teachers or any faculty or staff member. Submit your thank-you notes using this link: https://www.model.eku.edu/page/thank-you.

In learning about the character trait of the month, empathy, 4th and 5th-grade Character Education classes learned an unforgettable lesson about the impact of their words through an engaging and hands-on activity. Using paper hearts, toothpaste, and toothpicks, students explored how words can leave lasting impressions—both good and bad. Thank you, Mrs. Marcum, for teaching Model students that when we take every opportunity to show kindness to others, we grow our empathy, strengthen friendships, and understand an important truth: our words matter. ❤️
