 The Appalachian Advantage Plan is the simpler, better way to get the phone you actually want instead of paying hundreds of dollars up front. Simply pay the taxes up front and a few extra dollars a month and get the phone you really want. It's called the Appalachian Advantage available at Appalachian Wireless. On Monday, November 7th, Lieutenant Governor Jacqueline Coleman went around to various schools in the eastern Kentucky area visiting with the student body. Her first stop was at Allen Elementary School. Well, you know, I kind of went back to my roots. I was an assistant principal before I became Lieutenant Governor. And so to be able to go in the classrooms, I went in the lunchroom when the kindergarteners were eating and got to talk with a lot of students and be reminded of the importance of listening to our young people and making sure that we continue to be their voice. There, she participated in Principal for a Day where she went around various classrooms from kindergarten all the way up to eighth grade. Well, I always say I wish the general public could see what goes on in the school in a day because the work that our teachers are doing, our school employees are doing, and the joy that you see in the kids as they learn and work together, you know, that's what this is all about. Coleman spoke on the importance of the educational system along with how schools play a pivotal role in a child's development. I think a lot of times we think, oh, well, they're just a kid. They're just in middle school. They're just in high school. And the truth is that the young people of Kentucky are passionate. They're engaged. They're involved. And I see leaders developing all the time. And so it's just a reminder of how important they really are and how much we have to continue to lift up those voices.
