Halloween in the Halls was a Popular Halloween Event
The rain didn't scare the little goblins away as there were people lined up ready to trick or treat before the doors opened. Families started trick or treating at 6:00 pm and by 6:05 principal Mr. Lyons had welcomed the 200'th guest into the school. He said, " The response was incredible. We ran out of candy because we had way more trick or treaters than we had anticipated." Families and community members still came and enjoyed the Halloween decorations and atmosphere.
Mr. Lyons said, "We were so happy with the turnout and look forward to providing a safe, fun trick or treat location for our community next year. And we would like to thank the parents for donating supplies and candy when we needed it."

Senior Intern Spotlight - Zoe Antenucci
My name is Zoe Antenucci and I am a senior at Frankfort High School. As part of the Frankfort High School Mentorship Program, I have an internship at Salato Wildlife Education Center. My mentor’s names are Patrick Ueltschi and Geoff Roberts. While in my placement, I have had the opportunity to learn in depth about the animal species that are found in Kentucky as well as getting a ‘behind the scenes’ look into caring for the animals and grounds at the center. Some of my favorite things so far have been getting to work hands on with the snakes and turtles as well as attending feedings and enrichment for all of the animals. Throughout the remainder of the semester I hope to keep learning and have more unique experiences. After graduation I intend to attend college and pursue a degree in either zoology or environmental science, as well as one day pursue a career in either field.

Big Smiles Dental Day
Great News! Your child can get dental care at their school.
Best of all, in most cases there is no cost to you if your child is insured with Medicaid or CHIP! Private insurance and affordable self-pay options are also available.
