Kevin Ownbey School Board Mad Lib

January is Arkansas School Board Member Recognition Month!

Arkansas School Board Member Recognition Month

Gov. Sarah Sanders declared January 2025 as Arkansas School Board Member Recognition Month, and we encourage you to take time to thank our School Board members for their constant support of the district and the community.

Join us as we celebrate our School Board Member Kevin Ownbey with this fun Mad Lib word game he helped complete by filling in the blanks of a story with words to create a silly story! *The School Board Members filled in the blanks without being able to see the story!

"How to Present at a School Board Meeting" by Kevin Ownbey

Do you want straight X ’s on your report to the School Board? Do you want to receive comments like “excellent” and “large” on all your reports and documents?

If so, follow this fast -fire guide to making a report to the School Board about deer, and you’ll be at the top of the food in no time!

• Tell the School Board every day that they look crazy. Everyone loves compliments, even truck drivers!

• Raise your eyes to ask questions or volunteer for cold duties, like changing the tree -slides or walking Jeremy to the bathroom.

• Do extra credit at school, whenever possible. If you must present a report on the Grits of Liberty, build one out of Popsicle sticks and eggs too!

• Attend School Board meetings to understand hot topics. Use the time to get experience so they’ll think quickly of you next time someone receives one of your reports on boxes.
