Mr. Treece says there will be school January 2, 2007

School will be in session tomorrow; schools will take time to remember, honor President Ford

I have been getting questions about school tomorrow, Jan. 2 due to the national day of mourning for former President Gerald Ford. Since we started school 12 days later than planned last August, Adair County schools will be in session tomorrow. I will be asking each school to take time to remember and honor President Ford at some time during the day.

Darrell Treece, Superintendent
Adair County Schools

    A thought on seeing notice of deathof little boy
    My prayers go out . . . to each and everyone of his family
    My heart goes out to this family. I have two young grandsons, ages 8 and 5. I can only imagine how they must be feeling at this time. This little boy has touched so many hearts, mine included.
