The Kentucky Derby was held in all of its glory Friday, May 6, as students at the Early Childhood Center ran for the roses. Students decorated their horses and raced for the gold medal to celebrate the real Kentucky Derby held the next day at Churchhill Downs. Above, students from Mrs. Tammy Cook’s class jetted across the lawn for the first race of the day.
