Continuing prayers requested for Ed



2018-09-17 - Lindsey Wilson College, 210 Lindsey Wilson Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, columbiamagazine.com.
Please continue keeping ColumbiaMagazine.com editor Ed Waggener and the entire family in your thoughts and prayers as we navigate the unknown over the days ahead. He suffered cardiac arrest at home Thursday evening. He was revived by Adair County EMS and rushed to the hospital where he remains in critical condition. We are trying to be bedside as much as possible, but Ed's priority has always been that the news must be delivered, so we'll keep updating Columbia Magazine, too. We know it would mean a lot to him if you keep sending news and pictures, and if you recall a special photo or story from over the 20+ years of archives, it would be wonderful to have that reminder to share. This photo is a favorite from a visit to Lindsey Wilson College last year.

The role of the council is to help in making decision in many aspects of the school. The SBDM council is made up of two parents, three teachers, and a principal.

We are asking for your help in nominating minority parents to serve a one year term on the ACMS SBDM Council. Minority parents who serve must have a child attending Adair County Middle School during the 2018-19 school year.
