Thanks to all who helped make Cindy Rowe benefit a success

We are so blessed to live in a town such as this

I would like to thank everyone who helped in any way in the benefit for Cindy Rowe, that was held Friday night. It was a huge success. We raised approximately $10,800.00 for her. The generosity of the people of Adair County over whelms me. Whenever someone is sick or in need, you are always there to help in any way. We are so blessed to live in a town such as this. There was a lot of hard work went into this and it would be impossible for me to name everyone without maybe leaving someone out. But I want you to know, in what ever way you helped, I appreciate it very much.

Signed, Sheila Pendleton

Adair Gifted Students visit State Capitol

Gifted Education Week in Kentucky is February 4-10, 2008

By Pam Geissellhardt

On January 29, 2008, a group of Primary Talent Pool/Gifted/Talented students traveled to Frankfort and were present in the Capitol Rotunda when the Governor's proclamation declaring Gifted Education was presented.

All the students got to meet our Senator, Vernie McGaha, tour the capitol, and eat in the Capitol Cafe. The younger students had the opportunity to see the legislative process in action by sitting in the galleries of both the House and the Senate, as guests of Representative Russ Mobley and Senator McGaha. The four older students were honored as pages serving Senator McGaha. The pages were Dylan Claiborne, Kyle Mann, Audra Turner, and Rachel Stephens.
