A while back I visited Kentucky Teacher of the Year Holly Bloodworth and her class at Murray Elementary School (Murray Independent). It was clear she is a wonderful teacher and her students were great. I especially liked petting the class pet, Hedgie the hedgehog.

I still had some time available when I had finished taking pictures in her class. Principal Denise Richards mentioned that it was grandparents’ lunch day. She said it is a good opportunity to welcome the grandparents into the school and hopefully they will enjoy it and come back. I caught the last few minutes of lunch and the grandparents I spoke with really were enjoying it.
