■ The Family Resource and Youth Services Center for Cassidy Elementary and Morton Middle schools recently received a Harry J. Cowherd Award for Center Excellence. It's the first time a resource center in Fayette County Public Schools has earned this statewide honor. Center coordinator Jill Blackman, who is in her fifth year working at Cassidy and Morton, will accept the award at a Tuesday luncheon at the Galt House in Louisville.
