Letter: Charity Baptist homecoming sparks memories Tom Page writes: Made me think of my grandpa, Noah Page, who used to preach there in the 60's. I spent my summers with my grandparents and we would go to church there. He would always stop at the fillin' station on the way there and buy several packs of Wrigley chewing gum and have me pass it out to all the kids in church. So if there's any chewing gum stuck under the pews, it's grandpa's fault.Comments re: Charity Baptist Church Homecoming is July 28 2024-07-24 18:02:23 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

New Cell Phone Policy at Adair Co. Middle School From Keri Willis, Principal Adair County Middle School We want to inform you about an important update regarding our cell phone policy at ACMS. In an ongoing effort to improve the educational experience for your student, we are adding limitations on the use of cell phones and electronic devices during the school day. The SBDM council and administrative staff at ACMS have carefully considered research regarding the negative effects of cell phone usage at school and have decided that students will no longer be able to use cell phones during school hours. Studies consistently show that excessive cell phone use during school hours can significantly impact students' focus, productivity, and overall academic performance. Excessive cell phone use is also linked to negative impacts on social and emotional development and various mental health concerns. We kindly ask for your support in reinforcing this new policy at home and encourage you to discuss alternative ways for your child to communicate with you during the school day, if necessary. We believe that, with your support, the culture at ACMS will drastically improve, fostering a better learning environment and limiting negative social and emotional consequences. Below is a summary of our new cell phone policy and student discipline for misuse.
