Three OCHS student leaders have taken the initiative to facilitate a Bible study twice a week before the school day begins.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:30 a.m. to the start of school at 7:45 a.m., OCHS students are welcome to attend a Bible study in Mrs. Katie Ashcraft’s classroom. Juniors Skye Decandia and Ross Ford, and freshman Kaitlyn Parker are the student leaders of this study.

On March 29, a bus of OCHS students arrived at St. Francis in the Fields Episcopal Church in Harrods Creek, Ky.

They took their seats in the church pews and awaited for the concert of Chanticleer to begin.

Chanticleer is a world-famous all men’s choir, vocalists ranging from soprano to bass. The group is based out of San Francisco, but travels across the globe year-round and rarely ends up as close to Owen County as they did last Tuesday.

Poised near the road and surrounded by a tangled web of weeds, it has staunchly stood its ground for many years. Though the elements have claimed the porch roof, the remainder of its structure survived, and today, the Greenup one-room school continues to whisper stories of long ago.

In 1821 the Kentucky State Legislature passed a public school act for elementary schools. Local taxation was expected to provide for schools, and though the act was not compulsory, it did become the foundation for Kentucky’s educational system.

Kevin and Gabrielle Welsh of Worthville are proud to announce the birth of their daughter, Khloe Grace Welsh.

Khloe was born at 2:26 a.m., Tuesday, Feb. 9, 2016 and weighed 6 lbs. and 13 oz.

Proud grandparents are Jim and Pru Grider of Owenton and David and Darlene Welsh of Sheffield, Penn. Proud cousins are Kaileigh and James Grider.
