Due to icy road conditions, school has been canceled for today. We will continue to monitor road conditions and will provide updates on any changes to the Jag's area playoff game today.
Good morning, this is Nelson Coulter, superintendent of the Guthrie Common School District. Here we go again. While roads do not appear to be treacherous, there may in fact be visibility issues in parts of our service area. Thus, we will start school at 9:00 a.m. this morning at Guthrie. That will buy a bit more light, and allow our bus drivers to use an extra measure of caution as they transport our students this morning. We apologize for any inconvenience. Again, 9:00 a.m. start of school today at Guthrie. Make it a good day, Jags.

Every Wednesday night, sixty Guthrie students and adults meet at the church to praise and worship God. Because of gracious donations from people in the community, Kids Praise Night is thriving. In addition to that, Kids Praise Night just got a little bit cooler, since they now have their very own Instagram account! They encourage you to tag your KPN selfies with your friends. All they ask is you do not take pictures during worship. Go check them out (instagram.com/kidspraisenight) and follow them at @kidspraisenight.

Looking to get into the playoffs for the second year in a row, the Jags had to win against Spur. The Jags were looking to get revenge on Spur for beating them in the first round of district. The Jags showed why they deserve a spot into the playoffs by starting the game off fast. The Jags had an 18 to 3 lead ending the first quarter. Trying to keep it rolling, the Jags went into halftime with a 30 to 12 lead. Coming out of halftime, the Jags knew they had to keep it up. Extending their lead, the Jags finished the game 56 to 29. Having scoring from everyone, the Jags looked like they are on a roll. Good job to the Jags last night. Come out and support them on Friday against Paducah.
It is time for the sixth Book of the Month! This month, I choose Non-Fiction books. These are uplifting and true stories that are bound to inspire you. Make sure you go by the library to pick up one of these books!

This book tells his story, his dedication, creativity and the trademark of the Macy’s Parade. 2nd - 5th grade Book of the Month Fly High: the story of Bessie Coleman by Louise Borden Young Bessie Coleman wanted to be in school- not cotton farming to help her family raise money.

Her hard work and dedication paid off as she became the first African-American to earn a pilot's license. 6th - 8th grade Book of the Month Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson Through vivid poems, Jacqueline Woodson shares her childhood and what it was like growing up as an African-American in the 1960’s and 1970’s.

Each poem is charged with emotions, and you are bound to be inspired. 9th grade - Adult Book of the Month Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption by Laura Hillenbrand Louis Zamperini went from delinquent to olympic runner. But when World War II started, the athlete became an airman. In 1943, when his bomber crashed in the Pacific Ocean, against all odds, he survived, adrift at sea in a life raft.
