We've been staying busy since school started back last month, but hey, we're having a great time with our Model Family! ❤ Whether we're rushing our favorite clubs, petting snakes during EKU's STEM Week, bringing the hype to the pep rally, or catching that pep bus to cheer on the Patriots, we're all about the good times here at Model. Don't worry, we're still giving our best effort in class, too, whether it's soaking up the sun in outdoor science class or discovering how to make our mark. We already know it is going to be a GREAT year full of opportunities and experiences! 🤩📚✏️

⚽️🏆 REGION CHAMPIONS! 🏆⚽️ The Varsity Boys Soccer Team recorded a big W Thursday, August 31, as they topped Frankfort in the Championship game of the All A Classic Tournament. It's a great day to be a Patriot! 🥳

We had the BEST first day of school! Our students deserve the best, and that's exactly what Model Laboratory Schools, Eastern Kentucky University, and the EKU Colonels delivered! The morning had a giant inflatable slide, EKU student-athletes cheering students on as they arrived, and a delicious breakfast as soon as they walked through the doors. We appreciate every EKU Colonel who made this day extra special and exciting for our students and their families, including EKU Football, EKU Bands / EKU Marching Colonels, EKU Men's Basketball, EKU Women’s Soccer, EKU Women's Basketball, EKU Beach Volleyball, EKU Cheerleading, EKU Baseball, and EKU Dance Team.

Our week could not have started better than meeting our students and their families! 🥳 We hosted our annual New Family Picnic and Orientation as a big welcome into the Model Family and launched our 6th Grade Academy this week. Students also came to visit teachers and discover new classrooms, and we were so glad to have crowded hallways again!

Model Laboratory could not be successful without the support of our parents, guardians, and families. To participate as a volunteer in your child's classroom or at any point during the school year for in-school activities and/or in-state field trips, you are required to complete the volunteer training.

The Model Lab Library transformed into the West Egg today as Junior English students put on their bowties and pearls for their annual Gatsby party after reading the famous American novel, "The Great Gatsby." Students partied like it was 1925 by showing off their best Charleston and catering their event with classic 1920s recipes. It was an egg-stravagant time, Old Sport! ✨🎉
