Hands on their desks. Eyes glued to the front of the room. Mouths shut and ears open. Those three statements describe each of the four classrooms at Spencer County Elementary School, with which I had a chance to speak on Friday.

The Spencer County Elementary School quick recall team finished fourth at the regional Governor’s Cup competition, and is pictured at right.
Students from Spencer County and Taylorsville elementary schools who placed in the top five in competition are:
Social studies written assessment: Josh Dunkelbeger, SCES, fifth place
Language arts written assessment: Calvin Sosebee, SCES, first place; Caden Little, TES, fifth place
Composition: Vanessa Velasquez, TES, second place

Just because school is out during the summer doesn’t mean the fun of learning has to end.  Children entering grades one through six are invited to attend this year’s summer camp from Camp Invention titled Geo-Quest. The camp is June 10 through June 14 from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Taylorsville Elementary School.
The Geo-Quest program will feature the following:
Cache Dash — An international expedition where you can navigate your way to treasure-filled caches containing global challenges from youth around the world.
