Summer Break does not necessarily mean students have to take a break from learning. Shelby County Public Schools wants students to continue the educational process over the Summer Break so that everyone can return to school August 6 better prepared for continued academic progress. A number of enrichment activities are being offered for all students. Most are free of charge.

Public can attend

May 28 -- Shelby County High School's SBDM meeting 3:30 p.m.

The streets of Bagdad were filled last Saturday as the community celebrated the 16th annual Bagdad Days. While rain and cooler temperatures may have kept some people away on Friday night, the bright sun and cloudless sky helped to ensure a large crowd on Saturday.

Some of the crowd favorites on Saturday included the community parade, the cornhole tournament, the inflatable games, the mechanical bull and the food.
