The Secretary of State, Allison Lundergan Grimes, visited Northern Middle School on May 9 to honor and recognize McKenzie Brunson for winning the state-wide voting slogan contest.  McKenzie's slogan "Voting - Kentucky's fuel for democracy" will be used across the Commonwealth to promote voting among Kentucky citizen's. 

Yearbooks are on sale now.   The cost is $25.00 and we do expect them to arrive before school is out. Order forms were sent home with each child and should be returned to the homeroom teacher.
