APRIL SHOWERS COLLECTION
Our Brashear
Junior Girl Scouts troop placed an April Showers collection bag on the doors of
homes throughout Brashear on Friday, April 8.
The girls will return on Saturday, April 16 to collect the bags. They ask that the bags be filled with
personal care items such as soap, toilet paper, disposable razors, diapers,
shampoo, etc. These items will be
donated to the Adair County Food Depot to help local families who cannot afford
to purchase personal care items.
April Showers is
a component of the Girl Scout's Giving Program in which the girls serve over
1,000 agencies and tens of thousands of individuals through giving tangible
gifts and gifts of time visiting, writing and entertaining the young and the
old alike.
KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION
We will be
conducting our annual Kindergarten registration on Tuesday, April 26, from 8:00
a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in the elementary school.
All district children who will be 5 years old prior to August 1, 2011
are eligible to register for Kindergarten for the 2011-2012 school year. Please plan to bring your child’s birth
certificate and immunization records with you on that day. You may contact Karla at 323-5272 to

APRIL ELECTION
Tuesday, April
5, 2011 was Election Day. This year we
had three candidates file for the three available positions. Those who filed included incumbents Traci
Hill and Curtis Gordon, and Alissa Treasure.
The district did not hold an election since the number of candidates who
filed for the Board was equal to the number of positions available.
PLAYGROUND NEWS
Thank you to
everyone who attended and/or donated desserts for the Spaghetti Supper on March
21. With your support, $350 was raised
for the playground!
TESTING BEGINS
Our MAP and EOC
testing has started. Please look
closely at the schedule found in this newsletter and try to ensure that no
appointments are made on testing days that would take your student away from
school. As always, you can help us and
help your student by ensuring a good nights rest and a healthy breakfast in the
morning. If you have any questions,
please contact me at christy_grissom@brashear.k12.mo.us or give me a call at

JOB SHADOW DAY
A huge thank you
to all of the parents and local business people who helped make Adair County
R-II Schools Job Shadow Day a success.
Fifty-one students from grades 5, 7 and 10 were out on the job in March.
Job Shadow Day
is sponsored by America’s Promise, National School-to-Work Opportunities
Office, Junior Achievement and American Society of Association Executives and
is a day dedicated to giving young people across America Job Shadowing
experiences. Job Shadowing enables kids
to shadow a workplace mentor as he or she goes through a normal day on the job,
providing an up-close look at how the skills learned in school are put into
action in the workplace.
Students
returned from their Job Shadowing experience enthusiastic and with a better
understanding of how the skills learned in the school environment are used in
the “real world” work place. We
appreciate the effort put forth by the parents, mentors and businesses involved
in making this a successful learning experience for these students.
