Changes for the New School Year

We would like to thank Mrs. Stover for her time spent teaching in our district. We have benefited and enjoyed her

42 plus years with us. Congratulations on her retirement.

Nancy Stover - “I want to thank everyone for all the years I’ve been at Adna. It has been a pleasure working here

with the staff, students and parents. For the few that are worried I’ll attend Toledo games, I will bleed “Blue & Gold”. Once a Pirate; always a Pirate. I’ll sneak into a few games and some classes from time to time. Again, thank you for allowing me to be part of the Adna family.” Nancy

Stover

In addition to Mrs. Stover’s retirement we would like to congratulate Mr. Young on his new role as Republic School District’s new Superintendent and welcome Mr. Thad Nelson as our new AMHS Principal. Best wishes to Ms. Gaffney as she makes the move to Republic, WA. Thank you for your many years serving our students. Mrs. Wagner will take over the position of assistant secretary. Mrs. Minkoff is taking on 1st grade and reading specialist at the elementary and Mrs. Molly Majors will teach Ag/FFA. Mr. Moss will teach part-time and Mrs. Holbrook will be the full-time Special

Education teacher.
