If you would like to donate funds to purchase holiday stockings filled with goodies for each student and a special catered holiday meal at each shelter location (Four Oaks, Woodhaven & Francis Lauer Youth Shelter), simply click on the ”GoFundMe” account. The deadline for giving is Monday, December 13. Any excess funds will be used to purchase classroom games, books, supplies and personal items.

Holiday break – December 24-January 2
Central Rivers AEA offices will be closed for the Christmas holiday break, beginning Friday, December 24. Offices will reopen on Monday, January 3. Don’t forget to change your voicemail greeting and schedule an “away” message to your email so that callers and/or e-mailers will know when they can expect to hear from you. Detailed instructions can be found in last month’s edition of The Channel.
The week of Christmas, office staff may dress a bit more casually (nice jeans, festive shirt/sweater), if desired. Please keep in mind that your attire needs to be based on your role and responsibilities during that week.
