CEDAR GROVE - In honor of the Veterans Day holiday, Cedar Grove Elementary students let their hair down.

Or up. Or out. Or all around. In all shapes and colors.

Students were allowed to participate in Crazy Hair Day with a $1 donation toward the Our Military Kids fund, sponsored by the Military Kids Foundation.

 Major Tim Starke didn’t think he would get to attend the annual Overdale Elementary Veteran’s Day salute.

However, his unit returned home recently and Starke was once again a major part of the school celebration.

But on Friday, his son, Ben, a preschool student at Overdale, also played a role. Wife and mom, Heidi, is a teacher at the school.

 Bullitt County Public Schools has been awarded $311,945 in federal funds for the purchase of five hybrid diesel/electric school buses.

     The grant is a pair of firsts for the district.

     It is the first application proposal prepared by Grant Writer Juliann Vachon who joined the district in August and submitted the grant in September. She collaborated with District Transportation Director Ida Prather to create an award-winning proposal.
