School Fire, Resilient Students, and Community Support | Lexington News

A school fire Sunday contained to one classroom sent shockwaves through the community — but thanks to quick action, resilient teachers, and a supportive neighborhood, students are staying in the loop with remote classes held at the First United Methodist Church. Chromebooks and meals were distributed to keep learning and hunger fed, while high-heat drying efforts race to restore the building. With past experience navigating COVID and a flood just 18 months ago, this school’s staff is handling the crisis with grit. No return date yet, but kids’ spirits remain strong. Meanwhile, the South Frankfort Neighborhood Association is rallying for supplies lost in the blaze, launching a donation drive to rebuild the Family Resource and Youth Services Center.
