Adair Co. Schools awarded $70K Numeracy Counts grant

From Holly Trowbridge
Adair County Board of Education

Adair County Schools is proud to share that it has been selected as one of forty school districts in Kentucky to receive a $70,000 grant from the Kentucky Department of Education. The Numeracy Counts grant will fund the acquisition of high-quality, research and evidence-based math curriculum aligned with academic standards for kindergarten through third grade. Additionally, it will support professional learning opportunities that equip teachers to effectively implement the new curriculum in their classrooms.

Lisa Hayes, the Instructional Coach at the Adair County Primary Center, shared, "The Kentucky Numeracy Counts grant will continue to encourage a school-wide focus on math, helping to foster a shared commitment to numeracy and math fluency. Teachers will receive ongoing, targeted training in math instruction, which can boost their confidence and effectiveness in the classroom. It will also fund time for teachers to analyze student data, collaborate on strategies, and reflect on instruction. With more effective instruction and focused interventions, students build better number sense and critical thinking skills. Students will benefit from more interactive, differentiated, and culturally responsive math instruction, leading to greater engagement and self-belief."

The district Supervisor of Elementary Instruction, Susan Pfefferman, added, "We are so excited to receive the Numeracy Counts grant as it will provide the resources teachers need to increase engagement and rigor in mathematics instruction for our students."

Barry Dunn delivers Lindsey Wilson Founders Day message

From Duane Bonifer

No matter its name, Lindsey Wilson College is a place that "makes it happen." That was the message delivered by 2025 Lindsey Wilson Founders' Day Celebration keynote speaker Barry Dunn '05 on Thursday, April 24, at the college's Roberta D. Cranmer Dining & Conference Center.

"This is a place that makes it happen," said Dunn, an Adair County native who is president and CEO of Kosair for Kids. "This is a place that graduates the best, that has the best -- the best president, the best faculty, the best trustees, the best students."

Dunn spoke to Lindsey Wilson supporters, faculty, staff and students less than half an hour before the Lindsey Wilson Board of Trustees unanimously voted to rename the school Lindsey Wilson University, effective July 1, 2025.

"This is a place that means hope, it means that there's a future, it means that people are coming here with one purpose and one purpose only -- that's to better themselves and their station in life," said Dunn, a first-generation college student who also earned a law degree from the University of Louisville Louis D. Brandeis School of Law, where he was named outstanding graduate in his class.

Kentucky health officials report 2nd measles case

From Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services

Frankfort, KY - On April 24, 2025, Kentucky health officials announced that a second confirmed measles case has been reported in the commonwealth in 2025.

The second case occurred in March in a child who was traveling through the commonwealth when they sought treatment. The child, who is not a resident of the United States, was diagnosed at a health care facility in Kentucky, which is why the case will be counted as a Kentucky incident.

The health care facility adhered to strict safety protocols, eliminating the risk of spread to other patients. There are no other cases and no risks of exposure to Kentuckians associated with this case. This Kentucky associated measles case comes amidst health officials' reporting declining immunization rates among Kentucky's kindergartners.

Results from the most recent assessment of kindergarten vaccines for the 2024-2025 school year were released today, which show that immunization coverage has dropped to the lowest rates in over seven years for Kentucky kindergarteners. Coverage among kindergartners for the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine, which is effective at preventing diseases, including measles, and is legally required for school attendance in Kentucky, has dropped to 86.9%, which is lower than the national average of 93%. By comparison, MMR rates for Kentucky kindergartners were at 90.0% for the 2023-2024 school year.

Connor Loy signs with Jacksonville State University

By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer

Adair County High School Basketball Senior Connor Loy has committed to Jacksonville State University to continue his athletic and academic career.

Loy has over 3,000 career points and is by far the leading scorer in Adair County history. Over his varsity career, he has amassed 128 wins, 2 all state selections, was selected as the 2025 5th region player of the year and KY Mr. Basketball finalist, and was of course a twice region champion.

The Gamecocks of Jacksonville State play at the NCAA Division 1 level in Conference USA. Other members of the conference include Western Kentucky University and Middle Tennessee State University. Connor will join a roster that featured one player from Kentucky last season, Quel'Ron House, a 2024 graduate of Seneca Academy in Louisville. House, a 2024 first team all state selection at Seneca, has left the Gamecocks and entered the transfer portal. Jacksonville State finished last season with a record of 23-13 and they made it to the second round of the National Invitational Tournament (NIT), so Loy will join a program already prepared for success.

I hope everyone in the community will join us at Columbia Magazine in congratulating Connor Loy for his signing and in thanking him for his years of talented play at Adair County.
