Ashdown School Superintendent Mike Walker encourages the district employees to "Cowboy Up" at the annual School District Breakfast and Staff Meeting on Thurs., Aug. 13 in the AHS cafeteria.  Walker used the theme "Cowboy Ethics" as an analogy for school philosophy, including the the ten rules of The Code of the West.  Those rules include: (1) Live each day with courage, (2) Take pride in your work, (3) Always finish what you start, (4) Do what has to be done, (5) Be tough, but fair, (6) When you make a promise, keep it, (7) Ride for the brand, (8) Talk less and say more, (9) Remember that some things aren't for sale, and (10) Know where to draw the line.

Faculty and staff from all six campuses gathered in the AHS cafeteria on Thurs., Aug 13, for a district-wide breakfast meeting to kick off the new school year.  During breakfast and social time, scenes from classic Western movies and tv shows, such as High Noon, Bonanza and Wagon Train, played on the screen behind to introduce the theme "Code of the West."
