Flat Gap Elementary and The Family Resource and Youth Services Centers Coalition of Kentucky are pleased to announce that FGES 5th Grade student CALEB SHORT has been selected as a FRYSCKy’s Legislative Page.

Caleb was chosen from a large pool of applicants because of his proven leadership, excellent work ethic, and commitment to his academic work.
