Adair School Board March meeting honors academics By Linda Waggener The March meeting of the Adair County School Board was called to order by Chair Lisa Burton who said, "we have a lot of special people to recognize tonight." And she was right, there were many recipients and much celebrating of accomplishments. Jerry Dale Sneed, Veteran, was the first to be given special recognition at the meeting. He was awarded his high school diploma in honor of the service given to his country. His high school education had been interrupted when he went into service. Recognition was then given students of ACHS, ACMS and ACES for outstanding academic achievements 2018-2019. Academic Dean Phyllis Curry introduced the awards session, saying, "we have times to honor athletics and band and clubs, but this time tonight is just to shine the spotlight on students who excel in academics." Jenna Claywell was the first student to be recognized for having won first place in the Kentucky State Braille Competition. Superintendent Pam Stephens presented the a Rising Star trophy and told Jenna how very proud everyone is of her. Jenna was invited to share a little about her experience. Adair County High School award winning students and their Academic Team Coach Brett Reliford were given special recognition. Coach Reliford introduced Maddie Harmon, Elizabeth Rexroat, Christopher Stuchell, Trevor Smith, Amber Loy, Hayden Hancock, Keaton Coomer, Alex Godsey, and Christina Kessinger. He listed their accomplishments in tournament action and said, "they are, in every aspect, a top ten team in the state of Kentucky." Four of their team members were unable to attend the meeting due to conflicting events, but were listed in the program handed out and will receive their trophies. Adair County Middle School award winning students were recognized along with Academic Team Coaches Mary Ann McQuaide and Vickie Liebeck-Owsley. Students included Alannah Bowman, Tristin Andrews, Trevir Andrews, Kyrnan Bowman, Joseph Kotter and Andrew Zinati. Several of their team members were also unable to attend the meeting due to conflicting school events, but were listed in the program and will receive their trophies. Adair County Elementary School award winning students were also recognized along with Academic Team Coaches Lisa Newell-Hare and Jeana Pike. Students in attendance at the Board meeting included Addie Baker, Olivia Mantooth, Samantha Oliver, Callie Compton, Jolene Nuszbaum, Hailey Thomas, Hannah Kotter, Harli Polk, Jacob Bailey, Jay Whalen, Nia McNeiley, Bailey Coffey and Abby Kemp. Again, several were unable to attend the meeting due to conflicting school events, but they were listed in the program handed out and will receive their trophies. After the students were honored for their accomplishments, Ms. Curry recognized the school system's newest National Board certified teachers, husband and wife team Matt and Carrie Willis. She said, "There are now 17 or 18 Adair teachers with this title - it's a decision each can make on their own and it's hard work when teachers choose to go for the certification. We recognize them as they get their certifications." Dr. Stephens recognized Federal Programs Director Steve Turner for leading the grant process so that ACES will again receive the 21st Century funding. School Resource Officers were recognized by Superintendent Stephens who said there is now an SRO at each of the four schools - Kevin Atwood, Charles Greer, Mark Harris and John Harris. She also introduced the fifth member of the team, the newest safety officer, Kanine Narcotic Specialist Annie the police dog, who can sniff out five different illegal substances. Dr. Stephens thanked the Board for their support in getting the police dog to help even more in the commitment to keeping all the students safe in Adair County. The three-year-old Labrador Annie will live with Officer Atwood who has been trained to work with her and care for her. She is the second police dog in Adair County now, with the first being Gunner in the City Police Department. This story was posted on 2019-03-26 00:28:17
