Once again this year, the RJSHS lobby and the Jim Young Gymnasium was transformed into a lovely Banquet Hall on Monday, 10/24/16, as the Kentucky School Boards Association held their Third Region Meeting. This year we saw for the first time, under the direction of Lt. Col. Mike Triplett, the Presentation of Colors, by our JROTC, the Panther Platoon: Commander - Cadet Bree Lewis, carrying the State Flag - Cadet Kaleigh Hughes, carrying the Army Flag - Cadet Devon Barnes, Rifle Team - Cadet Dakota Cornelius and Cadet Kaylee Creek. An Ensemble of RJSHS students under the direction of Mr. Larry Vaught, sang My Old Kentucky Home and the National Anthem. Ensemble students were: Zach Baker, Addie Cundiff, Ashlee Gilbert, Katie Ray Holloman, Carson Kash, Emma McReynolds, Addie Mosier, Laura Mullen, Ethan Paddock, Katie Paul, Rian Saul, MyDuyen Tran, and Jennifer Wilkerson. RIS Board Member, Davonna Page, the Third Region Chairperson, welcomed those attending and introduced Legislators and Special quests. Superintendent, Mr. Leon Smith, delivered the invocation, and all enjoyed a delicious meal catered by Sweet Temptations from Bowling Green. The KSBA Officers and Staff shared announcements and updates, Davonna Page shared closing remarks, thanking all who attended, and the meeting was adjourned. The Third Region counties are Allen, Barren, Bowling Green, Butler, Caverna, Edmonson, Glasgow, Grayson, Logan, Metcalfe, Monroe, Russellville, Simpson, Todd, and Warren. We are grateful for Superintendent, Leon Smith, the Central Office Staff, Mrs. Ashley McGinnis’ Panther Caterers, the RJSHS Ambassadors for their assistance, and the many “hands” that contributed to the success of this evening.
