State Farm Insurance is the sponsor of AAA championship awards.

Centennial Bankis the Titled Named Sponsor of AAA championship awards.

Dale Query, who has been with the Flippin School District since 2005, has been named the Arkansas Superintendent of the Year by the Arkansas Association of Education-al Administrators (AAEA).

AAEA executive director Dr. Richard Abernathy and Arkansas Depart-ment of Education Commissioner Johnny Key were on hand to present Query with his award.

Query is highly respected by employees, co-workers and peers

across the state. A fellow superintendent stated that Query, “is an innovate leader with a passion to provide the best possible educa-tion for all students.”

Query has been a driving force in the implementation of a new dyslexia law in the state. He was progressive in his district and developed a successful program prior to the passing of the new dyslexia law. His knowledge and wisdom regarding this area has been beneficial to educators throughout the state.

Query is in his 42nd year in education, with 38 of those years served in the Flippin School District. He became the Flippin superintendent in 2005. Prior to that he was the superintendent at Bruno-Pyatt (2001-2005), Flippin Middle School principal (1996-2001) and Flippin assistant principal k-12 (1991-1996).

The Flippin School District is located in the Ozark Mountains of north central Arkansas, 30 miles south of the Missouri border. It is a small, rural district that is approximately 140 squares miles, with a student enrollment of 805.

The American Association of School Administrators (AASA) National Superintendent of the Year program is sponsored by ARAMARK Education, ING and AASA. The organization pays tribute to the talent and vision of the men and women who lead the nation’s public schools. Candidates are judged on the following criteria: leadership for learning, communication, professionalism, and community involvement. Each state association of school administrators selects a State Superintendent of the Year. The winning superintendents are then in the running for the National Superintendent of the Year and will be recognized and honored at the AASA National Conference on Education in February.

The Arkansas Activities Association announced the selections for the Wendy’s Football and Cheer High School Players of the Year Awards for the 2015-2016 school year.

Senior quarterback Leonard Snell of Nashville is the Football Player of the Year. Senior Ryleigh Feemster of Parkers Chapel is the Cheer Player of the Year.

This is the third year for the Wendy’s Player of the Year Awards. A total of 23 athletes will be selected from the sports of golf, tennis, volleyball, cross country, dance, cheer, football, swimming, wrestling, bowling, basketball, softball, baseball, soccer and track. Each winner will be recognized at the Wendy’s Day of Champions luncheon at the Holiday Inn Presidential Hotel in downtown Little Rock on Wednes-day, June 1, 2016.

Coaches and school administrators are eligible to make nominations for these awards throughout the school year.

Snell led Nashville to the Class 4A state football championship and a 15-0 record. He set a championship game record with six rushing touchdowns, which came from 5, 35, 5, 7, 14 and 34 yards.

During the season Snell had 226 rushes for 1,904 yards and 27 touch-downs. He averaged 8.4 yards per rush and 126.9 yards per game. He connected on 110 of 230 passes for 1,869 yards and 16 touchdowns.

Snell also set two Nashville school records this season against Watson Chapel – rushing yards (362) and total yards (571).

Feemster is the second straight senior from Parkers Chapel to win this award. A year ago the same honor went to Caitlyn Graven.

Feemster has been a Parkers Chapel cheerleader since the seventh grade. She was named captain of the squad this year. She has been named B2 All-American Cheerleader for the past four years and recently performed in the Liberty Bowl’s halftime show.

Feemster led her squad to two first place wins this year and an overall Grand Champion of the senior division of the El Dorado Cheer Invita-tional.
