Community Problem Solving
🌟2nd place at KAAC State Finals Competition 🌟
Congratulations, Salena Amro, Amy Roman, and Rihanna Montanaro.🐉🐉🐉
🧠Community Problem Solving is an engaging and impactful competition that challenges students to become active agents of change in their communities. As part of the Kentucky Association for Academic Competition (KAAC), this program encourages participants from grades 4-12 to identify real-world issues, conduct thorough research, and implement creative solutions. Students work individually or in teams to tackle problems ranging from local school concerns to global challenges. The competition not only hones critical thinking and problem-solving skills but also fosters teamwork, leadership, and civic responsibility. Through the process of developing a project, implementing solutions, and presenting their findings, students gain valuable real-world experience and make tangible differences in their communities. This unique blend of academic rigor and community service prepares students for future challenges while instilling a sense of social awareness and responsibility. 📚 #familyofdragons #academicexcellence

Michael traveled to Frankfort where he toured the capitol, met Governor Andy Beshear and Senior Advisor Rocky Adkins, and served as a page for Rep. Adam Bowling in the House of Representatives during the February 27th legislative session. This program gives students an up-close look at state government and the legislative process. Michael said, "I had a great time being a page in the House of Representatives. I learned a lot about the legislature and how it worked.
