Randall Sneed is in his 16th year with the Adair County School District and in his 1st Year at Adair County Primary Center. Above, he's carrying in a box from Col. Wm.

Patty Jones, Principal at ACPC, had this to say about his role, as a hero among heroes, "I don't know how I would have survived the summer without Randall and the team of custodians who worked with him. They spent countless hours, days, nights and weekends to make sure that our school was ready for students on August 14. They are the true heroes of this move." - Shamarie Claiborne Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
