ADAIR COUNTY R-II NEWSLETTER

FEBRUARY 1, 2010 Brashear, Missouri


 

SCHOOL BOARD RECOGNITION WEEK

 

Missourians benefit every day from the dedicated energies and countless hours devoted by a group of more than 3,600 men and women in every community across the state.  These public servants are elected by local constituents and do not receive compensation for their tireless efforts.  These men and women are the local school board members of Missouri.

 

During the week of January 24-30, communities across the state will honor the dedicated service of local boards of education during School Board Recognition Week as declared by Governor Jay Nixon.  The goal is to build awareness and understanding of the important function a board of education plays in communities and schools.  All Missouri citizens are asked to recognize the important contributions of these men and women and focus attention on the vital role school boards play in the education of Missouri's children.

ELECTION NEWS

 

This year we have had two candidates file for the two available positions on the Adair County R-II School Board.  Those who have filed include James Reeves and Duayne Housman.

 

The district will not hold an election since the number of candidates who have filed for the Board is equal to the number of positions available.

 

MUSIC NEWS

 

Brashear Band t-shirts are available from the past four years at a discounted price.  If you are interested, please contact Mr. Haupt.

 

Donate your unused instruments to the Brashear Band program!  Put them to good use by placing them in the hands of an eager music student!  We’ll take care of the cleaning and repairs.

 

BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION

 

A big thank you to everyone who has clipped and turned in Box Tops.  In October, we mailed in $939.00 worth of Box Tops. Our goal for this year is $1,600.00.

 

We will be mailing another shipment on February 26.  If you have Box Tops, please send them in by February 25th so they can be counted and bundled.

 

Continue to save your Box Tops after February as they will be used next year.  We appreciate all of your support!

BRASHEAR TOURNAMENT

 

The Adair County R-II 81st Annual Invitational Tournament will be held from Monday, February 8 through Saturday, February 13 at the Brashear High School Gymnasium.  We will host teams from Atlanta, Kirksville (JV girls), Knox County, Macon County, Marion County, North Shelby, Novinger, and Putnam County (JV boys).  The tournament brackets are included with this mailing so you can find game times, etc.

 

Admission fees for the tournament will be $2.00 for students, $3.00 for adults with a maximum of $8.00 per family.  The family rate is for parents and children only.  It does not include grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc.  Admission for senior citizens will be $1.00.  We hope to have good community support, as we always have, for the tournament games.

 

We also ask you to remember our tournament is centered around winning, as is true in any competition.  More important than winning, however, is the attitude with which the fans and athletes approach the game.  As fans we must do our best to set a good example for those around us.  Cheer for your favorite team in the spirit of the game and leave the officiating to the officials who are trained for the task.  We wish for each team to play their best, and may the best team win!

 

After Prom will again be selling pulled pork.

Orders will be taken from now until mid-March.  Delivery will be at the end of March.  Contact a junior, senior, or a junior/senior parent to order.
