The remaining Fridays of the Elizabethtown Independent School District calendar have been converted from shortened school days to regular instructional days.
Helmwood Heights Elementary School teacher Kendra Adams was celebrated during a ceremony Wednesday as the WHAS-11 ExCEL Award winner for Elizabethtown Independent Schools.
Thanks to efforts from Kiwanis Club of Hardin County, elementary schools throughout the county now are stocked with plenty of socks, T-shirts and underwear for students.
Club members donated clothes Friday to all 13 elementary schools in the Hardin County Schools system, to Helmwood Heights Elementary School and Morningside Elementary School in the Elizabethtown Independent Schools system and to St. James Catholic School.
More than 5,000 clothing items were collected for area schools, according to club president Darrell Olson.
Each elementary school received a box of clothes which will be used by family resource officials, who will identify children in need of the clothes, he said.
