5+ hour, 46+ min ago (642+ words) RICHMOND, Va. " Free school breakfast programs are helping drive down chronic absenteeism rates across Virginia, with 32,000 more students now eating breakfast at school since 2023. Cynthia Atkins has worked in the cafeteria at Holton Elementary on the city's Northside for 11 years and knows her students well. "I can tell you know what they need and that they might be hungry, because I don't know when a child has had their last meal. I really don't," Atkins said. The food service worker sees firsthand how important breakfast is for a student. "I tell the children you have to eat because you cannot learn. You cannot study if you're not eating a breakfast," she added. Richmond Public Schools Nutrition Services Director Shannon Ebron said the district was one of the first in Virginia to offer free breakfast through the Community Eligibility Program in…...

6+ hour, 2+ min ago (704+ words) Michigan just blew up its own stability at the worst possible time. Sherrone Moore, who took over for Jim Harbaugh, was fired "for cause" on Dec. 10 after the university said it found "credible evidence" of an inappropriate relationship with a staff member and called it a clear violation of policy. That's a nightmare for Michigan on a lot of levels. But if you're a Kentucky fan, your brain jumps to one name pretty quickly: Bryce Underwood. The 5-star quarterback, former LSU commit, and centerpiece of Michigan's future signed a massive NIL deal reportedly worth eight figures over four years. Crucially, multiple reports say that NIL agreement does not include a buyout, giving Underwood flexibility to move if he wants as he watches how Michigan handles this coaching search. So, where does Kentucky fit into any of this? Start with the…...

6+ hour, 28+ min ago (409+ words) RICHMOND, Ky. (LEX 18) " Madison Home, Inc. has filed legal action against the City of Richmond after officials denied the organization's annual approval to operate its overnight winter shelter, leaving Madison County without a viable shelter option as temperatures drop. According to a press release, the denial came just weeks before winter, based on the absence of a modern sprinkler system in Madison Home's historic building. The organization argues this requirement didn't exist when the building was originally constructed as Gibson Hospital and points to years of safe operation under prior city approvals. For decades, Madison Home says it has served Madison County's most vulnerable residents, operating its overnight winter shelter from December 15 through March 15 with annual city approvals. The building has consistently passed fire safety inspections, contains working fire escapes on every floor, and has complied with all safety requirements…...

6+ hour, 50+ min ago (688+ words) Whenever a Kentucky volleyball player deflects the opposing team's attack, Historic Memorial Coliseum erupts. "Monster block! Monster block! Monster, monster, monster block!" booms from the PA system as fans and UK's bench chant the same and pump their arms to the music. This tradition along with dancing during challenges and player-personalized cheers are just a few of the sideline antics Kentucky is known for around the sport. "A big part of volleyball is the momentum," redshirt sophomore Ava Sarafa told The Courier Journal. "We have 14 people on the roster, and it takes every single person on the roster to give in to the full effort of winning in our season." "We have played Eva Hudson the last two years at a former school so we are very familiar with how fiery she can get," Creighton coach Brian Rosen said ahead…...

6+ hour, 51+ min ago (188+ words) LEXINGTON "Entering his junior season of college, and second year playing for Kentucky basketball and coach Mark Pope, Brandon Garrisonwas expected to be the team's starting 5-man this season. Or so the thinking went. That held true. For the Wildcats' first five games, at least. Freshman Malachi Moreno, hailing from nearby Georgetown, forced himself into the lineup after a string of good-to-great performances off the bench. Now, the pair have switched roles: Moreno starts. Garrison is a backup. Where does this leave the position going forward? And what happens if prized transfer portal addition Jayden Quaintance finally is cleared to play? Here's a breakdown of where the spot stands as of Dec. 15: 2025-26 stats:10.1 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.3 steals in 22.4 minutes per game (10 appearances; five starts) 2025-26 stats:5.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.5 steals in 17.3 minutes per game (10 appearances; five starts) 2025-26 stats:N/A; Quaintance…...

The program takes place annually and uses evergreens donated after the holiday season to create underwater habitats that help fish thrive. Evergreen trees are accepted from Dec. 26 to Jan. 16, 2026, at the drop off locations listed here."Trees with remaining decor, limbs wreaths, brush, or other plants will not be accepted.
