Katy Evans Harrison ‘01 is a third-grade teacher at Cravens Elementary School in Owensboro (and the daughter of Joyce Ann Evans, KWC’s Director of Development).

Her class recently finished reading  Mr. Popper’s Penguins and decided it would be fun to build a milk jug igloo. Her mom helped round up milk jugs from faculty and staff at KWC, and 276 jugs later, her third grade class finished the igloo!

They plan to use the inspired creation as a classroom reading spot.

KWC president Cheryl King also visited Ms. Harrison’s classroom for ”I Love to Read” Day. She spent time reading  Teammates to the kids and explaining why reading is important for everyone.

–UPDATE–

The igloo had to be moved recently, and of course, this was the result:

But never fear. Ms. Harrison (and her husband) put the igloo back together again:

The high school girls basketball 9^th District Tournament Championship this Thursday night at Apollo High School has a distinctly Kentucky Wesleyan feel about it.

The game features Daviess County High School, coached by Pat Hume ’92, against Owensboro Catholic High School, coached by Ray Zuberer ’84 and Allison Estes Ross ’02.

Zuberer and Ross both played basketball for KWC. Hume’s mother, Ruthie, is a long-time employee of Kentucky Wesleyan.

If you’re a KWC fan or just a fan of basketball, come out to Apollo High School Thursday night at 7 to get a look at how KWC’s basketball tradition is trickling down to local high school programs.

K-Dub Idol is in full swing again this year. We just completed Round Two last night (Chairman of the Board Mitch Settle even made a guest appearance as a celebrity judge!), with Candace Garrett, Deidra Frazier and Noah Strader moving on to next week’s final round.

A few photos below, with video (hopefully) to follow:
