MUSIC NEWS

 

Come celebrate the Holidays with the Brashear Music Department!  The annual Brashear School Christmas Concert will be held on Monday, December 13 at 7:00     p.m.  The public is invited to attend.

 

INCLEMENT WEATHER

 

As the winter season approaches, we are reminding parents and students to listen to the local media stations to check on “early dismissals” and/or “no school” bulletins.  This information will be given to KTVO television, KHQA television, WGEM television, KIRX radio, KTUF radio, KRXL radio, KRES radio of Moberly, KMEM radio of Memphis, and KZBK radio of Brookfield.  These stations will present dismissal information as soon as decisions have been made.  Please do not call the school.

 

TIGER PRIDE NEWS

 

Due to state funding cuts to education this year, and the possibility of much deeper cuts next year, the school board has had to make some very tough financial decisions.  While Tiger Pride is very beneficial, a decision has been made to discontinue the program at the end of the first semester.  It has been costing about $1,000 more in expenses per month than revenues coming in. 

 

We want to give parents time to make other arrangements for before/after school care after Christmas.  Again, this was a tough decision to make but something that had to be done in these tough economic times.
