From The Classroom
Of all the
skills that students develop, none is more important than the ability to
read well. This year, Van Buren R-1 was fortunate in receiving two Comprehensive
School Reform grants, both of which are being used to help students improve
their reading skills. Students and teachers in grades K-12 are receiving
the benefits of the National Reading Styles Program. We are excited about
the possibilities for growth.
Family
Life
Jeff, my
husband of 28 years, and I have two sons. Tom is a senior at SMSU,
majoring in sociology and psychology. Jonathan, more commonly known
as "Buddy," is a senior at Van Buren High School. We enjoy playing golf
and spending time on Current River. My 3 southpaws love sports of all sorts.
Reading, music, and mind challenging games are other favorite pastimes.
A large extended family is also important to us, so family reunions for
the Keeneys are frequent and fun. In addition, I'm lucky to have 3 teriffic
sisters. Together, they have given me six wonderful nieces and nephews.
A real blessing in our lives is our "borrowed daughter" Christy Burrows
who is only 3 days younger than Buddy and also a senior at VBHS where she
is active in sports.
