Superintendent's November Newsletter

🎨 Congratulations to Marsh Fork Elementary’s Own Aubree Williams! 🎨 We proudly celebrate Aubree Williams, a talented student at Marsh Fork Elementary, for winning the Elementary Division of the PSA Art Contest! 🏆👏 Her creativity and hard work have genuinely shone through, earning her this well-deserved recognition.

🎉 A Big Shoutout to Woodrow Wilson High School! 🎉 During the month of November, the student council, led by Mrs. Pam Shrader, hosted a record-breaking food drive! The student body worked together as four grade levels competed to bring in the most items. Collectively, the school donated over 9,400 food items to the Salvation Army in Beckley! 🥫💪 This generous donation supports the community and broke last year’s school record—what an incredible achievement! Special recognition goes to the senior class, who donated more than half of the collected items. Their efforts earned them the honor of pieing their principal, Mr. Stafford, in the face! 🥧😂 We are so proud of Woodrow Wilson High School for leading with generosity and making a real impact in our community. Keep up the fantastic work! ❤️ #WWHSLeadsTheWay #RecordBreakingGenerosity #CommunityMatters #SalvationArmySupport #GoFlyingEagles
