On December 28, 2016, at approximately 6:30 pm, Johnny Cash's life abruptly ended. He was hit by a car, in front of Lake Front Church of God on Middle Fork at the age of 5. Johnny came to South Magoffin at the young age of 6 weeks old and quickly won the hearts of the faculty, staff and kids through his happiness and his unwavering companionship and love. It never failed that Johnny was sitting at the door every morning to greet everyone with a smile, wag or a lick. Johnny enjoyed playing with the students and they look forward to his unconditional love and snuggles, which often included playing catch.  Johnny was the center of attention at every assembly, meeting or event. After making his rounds, Johnny always looked forward to a nap in his recliner in Mr. Rice's office, only after he'd finished his daily sausage biscuit. It wasn't uncommon to find Johnny sneaking in the staff workroom at lunchtime to see what was available to eat, only to snarl his nose after being offered a bite. Johnny was an extremely picky eater. Life without Johnny will never be the same. We will miss his adoring eyes that said so much and paws that had a gentle touch. You left behind many broken hearts and happy memories too. Your presence we'll miss, your memories we'll treasure. Loving you always, forgetting you never.

The Magoffin County School Board members and administrators have decided, in the interest of student safety, to dismiss classes on Monday, August 21^st in observance of the solar eclipse. Superintendent Scott Helton and school officials made the determination to cancel classes since the eclipse will occur toward the end of the day when buses are lining up to transport children home.

“At a time when it would be impossible to keep the eyes of all students from looking at the harmful rays during the eclipse, we felt it best to keep them and their vision safe, which is our primary concern. Most of Kentucky will experience the eclipse and like many other districts in our area, we decided that it was in the best interest of our students to cancel all scheduled classes on Monday, August 21^st.”

Though students will not be at school when the eclipse takes place, teachers, parents, and students are encouraged to learn more about this unique event, which last occurred 99 years ago, by researching and discovering lesson plans that will help them understand and learn about the historic and scientific implications of the solar eclipse.

 In remembrance of Johnny Cash we are asking for donations for Magoffin County Cooperative Extension Office's backpack program. While children receive nutritious meals at school there is often a lack of food at home. In an effort to provide nutritious foods for hungry children during the weekend , the Magoffin County Cooperative Extension Service organized the Backpack Program. This program provides a backpack of food for children in need over the weekend during the school year. One hundred and ten youth from local schools were identified by family resource center directors, teachers and principals to participate in the program. The program has been possible through regular volunteers and ongoing donations from, a grocery store, food pantries, businesses, and several food drives. Due to recent hardships, many sources have been unable to donate which in return makes it difficult to provide these students with food. If you would like to help, you can drop off non perishables at the Magoffin County Cooperative Extension Office or contact Kim Campbell at (606) 349-1236. All donations would be greatly appreciated.
