Mt. Vernon Elementary School

The MVES Musical Mustangs brought holiday cheer to the Rockcastle County Kiwanis Club Christmas Tree Lighting with a festive performance! 🎶🐴🎄 #MustangPride

Our MVES Academic Team had a great start to their season at last night’s first meet. The team competed in two very close Quick Recall matches and had several students place in their content-area tests. In Language Arts, Isabelle McGuire and Bonnie Price finished in the Top 10, with Isabelle taking first place. In Science, Beau Adams, Ollie Smith, RG Smith, and Cannon Whittamore all finished in the Top 10. RG placed third, Beau placed second, and Cannon earned first place. Way to go, Mustangs!

MVES Archery is off and running this season! Our Mustang Archers shot in a 10 meter warm up this weekend, posting some impressive scores! The Mustangs were led by Kholer Carpenter, who placed 4th out of the whole match for elementary boys! The girls were led by Destiny Reynolds. Many of our mustang archers competed for the first time this weekend. We are in for an exciting season! 🐴❤️🏹 #MustangPride
