ASHDOWN SCHOOL FOOD SERVICE
Dear Parents,
My name is Lynda F. Christensen. I am the new Food Service Director for the Ashdown School District. I am looking forward to serving your children this year, but I will need your help. I have listed the prices of meals and some simple procedures that will make things a little easier.
o Per School Board Action, students will not be allowed to charge more than $10.00.
o Don’t forget to fill out a NEW free or reduced form.
o If you pay by check, please write your child’s name on the memo line of the check & make sure there is a contact telephone number on the check.
o If you would like a refund from your child’s meal account, a note will be required.
o You may pay for more than one day or one week at a time. However, I ask you to please send the exact amount of money for the total number of meals that you are paying for. Prices are broken down as follows:
Breakfast:
Reduced Price- $0.30 per day or $1.50 per week
Full Price- $1.25 per day or $6.25 per week

As of July 1, 2014, the location of the Ashdown School District Community & Parent outreach programs and the Homeless program has been moved to the New Traditions School, the ALE campus at 751 Rankin Street. These programs will be housed in the old high school building at that address. (This includes the copier, laminator, Ellison dye cutter, and all other supplies associated with the pre-school and daycare programs.) Contact Kim Befeld at 870-898-4450 with any questions.
From the Little River News:
The 2014 H.E.R.O. (Heal, Educate, Reach, Overcome) Nurse Service Award, from Global Glove Manufacturing, manufacturers of medical and surgical gloves, recognizes nurses who have made a lasting impression on their peers, their patient, their profession and their community.
Just 10 nurses from around the country have been selected to win this award. Ashdown native Linda Paxton Easter is one of these winners.
There were 58 nominations from all over the United Sates and Easter was the only one that had two nominations. She was presented with a plaque, a certificate, a nursing textbook worth up to $200, a nursing magazine of her choice for a year and the publication of her bio on Ansell's website.
Easter is a Neurology Specialty Nurse at Arkansas Children's Hospital. She has been a nurse for over 35 years. She is a 1971 graduate of Ashdown High School. She is the daughter of the late Ardella Walton and the late Sam Paxton and the sister of the late Nathaniel Paxton.
Easter said she lives by the philosophy of "Treat people the way you want to be treated. Treat them with respect even when they don't give in return. Trust God with all you heart, soul and mind and to he who is given much, much is required of him."
