ADAIR COUNTY R-II NEWSLETTER
FEBRUARY 1, 2013 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 20-26, communities across the state honored the dedicated
service of local boards of education during School Board Recognition Week, as
proclaimed by Governor Jay Nixon. The
goal is to build awareness and understanding of the important function an
elected 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.

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

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 incumbents James A. 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.

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) 323-5272 ext. 33 or email her
at jill_mason@brashear.k12.mo.us
