We've got some great offerings lined up for the spring semester - Crochet, Cricut, 3-D Printing, Coding, ASL, Writing, Mathletes, STEM, and Jewelry Making to name a few. We'd love to offer chess, planting, pastry design, photo editing, crafting, yoga, foreign language, dance, sewing, quilting, etc. Do you have an interest or talent? Are you available to share it with a group of 8-10 students? Email Mrs. Dietrich, mdietric@k12.wv.us, if you are interested in volunteering!

Students in 3rd-5th Grade are attending A Christmas Carol at West Liberty University on Friday, Dec. 5. Please consider having your child bring an item to donate -
Charles Dickens was profoundly moved by the harsh realities of poverty, child labor, and unsafe working conditions in Victorian England. Though he initially considered writing a political pamphlet, he chose instead to craft a story—knowing that narrative has a unique power to stir compassion. Dickens’ own childhood experiences, including his father’s imprisonment for debt and his own time working in a shoe-blacking factory at age 12, shaped his lifelong dedication to social justice. In that spirit, WLU is holding a food and personal-care item drive supporting the Ohio Valley Family Resource Network. See the attachment for suggested donation items.
