I am Amber Bradshaw, daughter to wonderful parents, younger sister to the bane of my existence, and current student at Rome High School. At Rome High School, I am an active student.

The Board President called the meeting to order, and the board secretary did the roll call. The agenda was comprised of various reports and the secretary would go though each agenda item, beginning with the board secretary’s report, finance, personnel, listing of approvals for salaries that included names of staff/faculty, retirements, leave of absences, bills, travel, field trips, etc.

If they desired to address the board concerning an agenda item, they must fill it out and submit it to the secretary.

Since I was a young child growing up, I have been exposed to Social Services in one form or another. Many of my family members have participated in the social services arena, and as a result, I too have the love, and compassion for the helping profession.

In America’s daily consumption of media a strange trend has developed in the last couple years. It seems that whenever a real life tragedy occurs many news outlets and politicians tend to place the blame, not in the instigator of these violent acts, but instead in the media they consume which they believed made them this way.

Hi Key Clubbers! I’m Bonnie, I enjoy reddit stories, aesthetics, organizing and music that are rubbish. I joined Key Club, because it was similar to the organization that I used to volunteer at, but Clackamas Key Club was more than just volunteering.
