It takes the efforts of a whole community to promote a child’s success from cradle to career. Who’s someone in your community who supports children’s success? What do you appreciate about them? #KyFamEngage25

Families are children’s first and forever teachers. What’s something that you helped your child learn to do recently? #KyFamEngage25
One of our fun traditions at Wilmore Elementary School is Lunch Visitors Day! Once or twice a month families are invited to share lunch and conversation with their Bear Cubs. Today was special and we couldn't be more thankful for our WES families!
To learn, students need to know they are loved and supported. Share one of your family traditions that shows your children how you love them. #KyFamEngage25
