Massac County School Superintendent Jason Hayes joined WMOK this morning for Coffee Break. First on our list of topics – the current state of the Massac County – Joppa High School Annexation issue.
Mr Hayes told WMOK that the resolution has been passed by both Massac and Joppa School boards. The next step is the approval of the Regional Office of Education. Hayes explains further the approval process in the audio file below. Should the resolution be approved by all entities the issue of annexation will appear on the ballot for Massac County Voters.
Today is National Coloring Day! National Coloring Day is dedicated to coloring, whether it be with crayons, colored pencils, markers, or some other implement. Coloring became popular in the United States as part of the “democratization of art”, which claimed that all students can benefit from art, because it improves cognitive abilities, advances skills useful for finding a profession, and aids children in a spiritual sense. The McLoughlin Brothers company is seen as having invented the first coloring book, The Little Folks’ Painting Book, in the 1880’s. Early on, paint was used in coloring books instead of crayons, and crayons didn’t gain popularity until the 1930’s. Coloring is seen as being both beneficial to children and adults, and helpful for those going through trauma, and those trying to de-stress. National Coloring Day was started by Jace Shoemaker-Galloway, “Queen of the Holidays”.
