Jarod Womack, international agriculture instructor, requested approval of the Macon R-I Board of Education to proceed with plans for a trip with international agriculture class members to Australia in June 2011. Eight members of the class have expressed an interest in making the trip. The cost of the trip is estimated at approximately $5,000 each. Students will pay for the trip through fundraising activities and individual payments. There will be no cost to the district. Womack is working with the University of Queensland and Truman State University to offer college credit for the course. The board gave approval to the project.
So many have mentioned how special Wednesday night was as the people lined along Highway 63 to honor Sgt. Brandon Maggart's funeral procession. If you would like to share a story, a thought or a photo we would like to publish it on our website. You may send them to chnews@centurytel.net
