Adena's Agricultural Education course is doing an excellent job of preparing students for future leadership roles in their communities and beyond.
Agricultural Education students have been actively practicing a mock meeting using proper Parliamentary Procedure. It's great to see students taking the initiative to learn and apply these essential skills. Parliamentary Procedure is a set of rules that govern how meetings are run, ensuring that everyone has a fair chance to speak and that decisions are made in an orderly and efficient manner.
By practicing Parliamentary Procedure, Adena's students are not only learning how to conduct meetings effectively, but they are also developing essential leadership and communication skills. They are learning how to present their ideas clearly and persuasively, listen actively to others, and work collaboratively to achieve common goals.
Keep up the great work, Adena Ag students!

Mrs. Colter reports that Macey is always such a caring and kind student. She has done many good deeds throughout this school year to demonstrate this. For example, earlier in the year, she brought in a box of used pencils in good condition to donate to the class. Her most recent kind act- She wanted to bring in a class treat for Halloween. She was aware of an allergy in our classroom. She and her mom researched, planned, and made cookies that were free of the allergen! This was all Macey's idea, and she was so excited to be able to provide a treat that everyone could enjoy! Her thoughtfulness shines through in everything she does!
Positive behavior is a great way to start a Monday. Mrs. Miller reports that Paisley shows good behavior each and every day. She is an outstanding example of pride,

Special shout-out to the JR/SR High School, for supporting the elementary and their week of celebration. You helped make it extra special!
"When teenagers could be doing anything else with their free time, and they choose to use it to carve pumpkins with a child, that is pretty special. Thank you, FCCLA members and Advisor Christine Hampton, for carving pumpkins with our latchkey kids."

It’s never too early to talk with your children about the risks of marijuana use. Research suggests that one of the most influential factors for children is a strong, open relationship with a parent. Though it may not seem like it, children hear your concerns, and it’s important that you discuss the risks of using marijuana with them. For useful information, please refer to the attached pamphlet.
