Nearly 50 Campbellsville University students, faculty and staff members sacrificed spring break for ministry opportunities in Haiti, Florida, New York and Guatemala.

Two groups went to Haiti, one being the School of Nursing. This was the third medical mission trip to Haiti for the School of Nursing.

Hundreds of incoming freshmen and transfer students, including several from Taylor County, have accepted merit-based scholarships to attend Eastern Kentucky University.

Taylor County recipients include Taylor County High School graduates Mackenzie Lynn Despain and Macayla Denise Bertram, who accepted Founders Scholarships, and TCHS graduate Austin Earl Wise, who accepted a Presidential Scholarship.

Taylor County Elementary School faculty recently made good on their promise to kiss farm animals if students read 600,000 minutes in a six-week period.

Students not only met their goal, but exceeded it, having read a total of 642,460 minutes or 10,708 hours.

TCES Librarian Gail Pippin said, "Here at TCES, we will do almost anything to get our students to read."

Through the Read to Feed program, students also raised $360 to purchase animals for families around the world to improve their health and way of life.
