Today was another amazing day with our new favorite Author/Illustrator. Infinite thanks, Ashley Belote. The students, faculty & staff thoroughly enjoyed your visit.
Mark your calendars! We are getting ready to enroll students for the 23-24 school year. Pre-K students must be 4 years old prior to July 1, 2023. Kindergarten students must be 5 prior to July 1, 2023.
Today's assemblies were beyond spectacular. We were joined by Ashley Balote, a West Virginia native author/illustrator. She shared her book and illustrations with all of our students, gave them each an autographed copy of the book and went to many classrooms to provide art lessons. The classrooms that did not have art lessons today will be able to enjoy them tomorrow.
We kicked off 'Read Across America' week with Story Teller, Adam Booth! He came from Shepherdstown to share his tales of Appalachia.
