By Alice Curry, Technology Teacher & STC
Adair County Elementary School

Adair County Elementary School students and families enjoyed a great night of reading and history at the recent Family Reading Night.

The event, sponsored by the Family Resource Center, Title I, Camp SAFARI and 5th Grade Social Studies teachers, provided activities and reading rooms related to local, state and national history.

Families explored early American history through a living museum and a presentation by Ken Hill a local historian and reenactor.

Mike Watson and LeeAnn Jessie with the Adair Public Library presented information about Adair County history and early public library history including a story about how librarians in Kentucky once rode horses into the mountains to deliver books.

Families were also treated to a visit by Mr. Larry Elliott, an Abraham Lincoln impersonator. He shared information about Mr. Lincoln's life and how reading was the key to his success.
