Today is Dolly Day, 9/25, and to honor her and her incredible passion for childhood literacy, we took a page out of Dolly’s book! The entire school dropped everything and read for 9 minutes and 25 seconds. Thank you, Dolly, for inspiring our students to dream big and read more!

It’s Dolly Day! To celebrate 9/25, we rolled the treat cart straight to classrooms so our hardworking teachers could pour themselves a cup of ambition to start the day. Thanks to our incredible staff for working beyond 9 to 5 every day to make a difference!

Our kinders are learning all about families and finding the word “the” in the process!

We had our first family meeting yesterday where our Tigers rocked our school song!

Fun Friday! Surprise car rider pump up visit from Ben & Kelly WDJXFM and underground spirit Dolly edition.

Our kindergarteners are already learning what makes this place special—here, we aren't just a school, we're a family! 🍎❤️

Our Kindness Wreath is complete! This year, our wreath is dedicated to the Blankenbaker Bus Compound for their unwavering support and kindness to our Tigers. Thank you to our awesome bus drivers!

We’re so thankful to The Rotary Club for donating dictionaries for our students! @RotaryLouKY

We couldn’t let her or the day get away without wishing our own Ms. Beard a Happy Counselor’s Week! She’s the best there is and we’re so grateful for all she does!

Thank you to Barry’s Bagels, @ChickfilA, and our own Mrs. Childress for making our morning delicious!

Lots of upgrades welcomed our Tigers back yesterday. It’s going to be a great year!

That’s a wrap 2024-25!!!

And that’s a wrap on our 4th round of musicals for the year! What a day!

This start to our day was the BEST EVER!!! Thank you, Flash Dads!!

Did your 5th graders defenses include walk up songs? Didn’t think so. That’s why our Tigers are THE BEST!!!

Our 5th graders rock!!! Their Journey to Success is happening!

Time to shine! Our 5th graders knocked our socks off with their Journey to Success defenses!

We were blown away with our 5th grade defenses this week! Watch out JCPS Middle Schools - here they come and they’re amazing!!!

Another marvelous round of musicals here at SME! Did you know that every student at St. Matthews Elementary is in a musical every year? Great expectations. Infinite possibilities.

We are so proud to have been able to support Dance Blue today! Our students raised money for pediatric cancer research AND danced their socks off! @UK_DanceBlue
