Russell Family Resource works every year to make sure all students are provided for - in every aspect of the students lives. This year, they're doing the Christmas Assistance program a little different, but by doing so they will be able to provide Christmas presents to more children than in past years.
Circle 5 Group from the Methodist Church, CSX, Sharon Baptist Youth Group, Lions Club, Marathon, Bridges Christian Church, Lifesong Church & MANY individuals have come together to make sure the children in our community get to experience a Merry Christmas.

Congrats to a hard-working group of students! 558 people from our community came out for the Annual Russell Turkey Trot that collects canned goods / non-perishables for Helping Hands instead of an entry fee - and turned it into a celebration of life for the late Melanie Conley.
Read the full article from The Ashland Daily Independent HERE. Ms. Phillips' 8th Graders have studied American Government all semester. They've reviewed our branches of government, what democracy means, and have developed a better understanding of our nation. Today, all students were able to participate in a mock election -- each student registered and voted for the candidate of their choice. There was a GREAT turn out! And the students really enjoyed sharing their opinions!
Students in Mrs. Hunt's class now have an opportunity to work with an exciting new math product! ExploreLearning Reflex is an online, game-based program that helps students build fast and effortless recall of math facts.
Research has shown that quick recall of math facts is critical for future success in mathematics. More advanced mathematical processes often require students to know a lot of math facts. So, it’s important to master these basic facts before tackling more challenging problems. Students have been using Reflex in class several days a week for about 10-15 minutes at a time, and they are making steady progress towards fluency. Since Reflex is online, students are able to continue using it at home. Reflex is structured to provide a short daily assessment of student progress, then coaching on new facts, and finally fact practice in the games. There are seven games that students can choose from, and they can play as many as they want each day. The Flatwoods Fire and Police Departments came to each class period today to thank my 8th graders for their letters of appreciation from 9/11. They even brought the students cookies! Such a great day!
