Adair County Athletics is proud to launch its fundraising campaign that will end June 22nd!

⬇️The link to donate and our story are below⬇️
https://app.schoolfundr.org/fund/adair-county-high-school-weight-room-renovation

This renovation will benefit all students—not just our athletes. Our women's fitness class and physical education programs who use the facility will all gain access to a safer, more functional, and modern space. Your support will help us create an inclusive environment where everyone can focus on fitness, wellness, and performance.

The weight room is essential for our athletes, helping them build strength, endurance, and resilience that directly translate to better performance on the field and court. It also plays a key role in developing a tough, hardworking culture by teaching discipline, accountability, and mental grit. Consistent training in a well-equipped facility pushes our athletes to reach their full potential and represent Adair County with pride.

What all will this fundraiser include?
• A brand new red and blue dual column cable machine
•A brand new red and blue high/low lat pull down machine
• 9 refurbished benches with the “A” logo on the head rest
• Brand new “A” logo with “Roll Tribe” signage
• A brand new red and blue preacher curl with the “A” logo
• A brand new strength and conditioning weight board that will display the all-time weight records and season weight record holders for football

Adair County alumni Devin Bell (2006) and Trenton Watson (2014), both Physical Therapists at TJ Health Columbia Outpatient Rehab, joined us for class yesterday! They shared with us about the path to becoming a PT or PTA and the various settings available for employment in the rehab field. They also did a demonstration of Dry Needling and discussed the purpose, indications, and contraindications. Students had the opportunity to ask questions and even had the chance to try out the E-Stim machine, another modality commonly used in a rehab setting. We enjoyed their visit and appreciate them giving their time to share with us!
T.J. Regional Health is a huge supporter of our district and partners with us financially to help provide Athletic Training services to the students here on our campus. We appreciate all they do for our community!

March is National Athletic Training Month, a time we ATs spread awareness of who we are, the scope of our training, and the benefits of having ATs in a variety of settings! This post from the National Athletic Trainer’s Association highlights the many different settings ATs work in, which has absolutely exploded in the last ten years! These include school settings (secondary & college), military, industrial, professional, fire/police/EMS, clinics, Physical Therapy clinics, NASA, performing arts, and more! ATs truly do help provide healthcare everywhere!

Health science students had a wonderful field trip to UK Frazier Science Outreach Center and the cadaver lab today! We had the pleasure of hearing from Dr. Frazier as he shared his passion for the human body and how it all works together. Students had the opportunity to participate in the presentation, and afterwards got to hold and explore the organs and bones as well as the displays in the display room. We were even able to present Dr. Frazier with a beautiful gift as a thank you for hosting and sharing with us for the fourth year!
After the presentation we walked to the campus cadaver lab where we spent over an hour with the cadavers, exploring muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments, and organs. We also learned more about the process a body goes through when donated to science. We are thankful to those who have done so for providing our students with the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience anatomy first hand!

We’ve spent the week learning about the importance of good posture and using plumb lines to recognize what is and isn’t considered “good” when it comes to how we stand. Students enjoyed making observations, and even had a few “Ah-ha” moments when talking about why some of them had different postures!
