AC schools state assessment data released

"Starting Monday, October 24th through November 10th, Parent teacher conferences will take place at Adair schools; families are asked to be looking for announcements from your child's school regarding dates and times."

Assessment results for the 2021-2022 school year are released by the Kentucky Department of Education. These test scores are the first reporting of accountability and federal status, as required by the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) since 2019, due to interruption of the accountability reporting system with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Monday begins Red Ribbon Week in Columbia



2022-10-23 - Columbia, KY - Photo from the office of Mayor Pam Hoots, Columbia, KY.
October 24-28, 2022 is declared Red Ribbon Week by Sources of Strength (SOS) at Adair County High School and Mayor Pam Hoots. Sources of Strength asks, "what are your sources of strength? Mental Health, Family Support, Positive Friends, Medical Access, Spirituality, Generosity, Healthy Activities and Mentors." The Red Ribbon Campaign was established by Congress in 1988 to promote this belief and encourage a drug-free lifestyle and involvement in drug prevention efforts. Since that time, the campaign has reached millions of U.S. children and families, encouraging citizens across the nation to come together to keep children, families and communities safe, healthy, and drug-free; and Red Ribbon Week offers citizens the opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to drug-free lifestyles.

Phillip Coffey: Keltner Town Upbringing Tale

By Phillip Coffey

Gravity flow gravy soaking the hot biscuits southside of the plate.
Mustard greens flavored with vinegar throughout.
Pinto beans with onions and cornbread broken in a bowl on the side - almost leveled out.
Enough for a working but most of those present plum tuckered out.

Up jumped the subject of politics and unhealthy stuff - feller soon tossed out.
‘Crop yields will be sparse with scarcity of rain - quick, put that baby in the shade.’
‘Better clean up boy if you going to town - no need being smelly boy around the city folk - be clearly sound.
They think you have no good upbringing if you’re not clean, sober and shaved.

Don’t take up and haul back the sailor, salted talk often found in those parts around. If you don’t have a clue what a feller is talking about - just keep your mouth shut.
