ADAIR COUNTY R-II NEWSLETTER
FEBRUARY 1, 2012 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 22-28, communities across the state honored 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.

For
their untiring personal dedication and commitment to public service, let’s give
our school board members a hand.

BRASHEAR TOURNAMENT
The

February 6 through Saturday, February 11 at the Brashear High School
Gymnasium. We will host teams from
Atlanta, Knox County, Macon County, Marion County, North Shelby, and Novinger. The tournament brackets are included with
this mailing.
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

PAT PROGRAM
The
Parents as Teachers program is a development-centered program offered by our
school district for parents and their children ages prenatal to 5 years of age,
Pre-K level. This is a state and
federally funded program, free of charge, to families wanting to learn more
about their children’s early development.
Parents as Teachers focuses on three areas of emphasis: parent/child interaction, development-centered
parenting, and family well-being. Each
area of emphasis is designed to help the parent become more knowledgeable about
their child’s growth and development through interacting more with their
children and to give each family a sense of well-being by providing them with
helpful resources. The program offers
home visits by a parent educator who will provide age appropriate curriculum
and activities and useful resources for the parents and their children. To learn more about the program, please contact
Jill Mason, Parent Educator, at (660) 342-6494 or email her at jill_mason@brashear.k12.mo.us
