From the Regional Science Fair Coordinator:
After careful consideration, we have decided to reschedule tomorrow's Regional Science Fair due to impending winter weather predicted to affect our region. We feel this is in the best interest of students from all participating counties as it ensures safety and equity.
The Regional Science Fair will now be held next Saturday, February 24th. The previously communicated location and times will remain the same.
Can you define the duties of a school counselor? It seems impossible, but one of the many things that they do is hold each child in their heart. If you see them this week, give them an extra thank you for their dedication and hard work.
Our outstanding school counselors are Linda Beverage at Pocahontas County High School, Ira Brown at Green Bank Elementary/Middle School, Dana Cutlip at Hillsboro Elementary School, Janesa Henderson at Marlinton Elementary School, and Missy Hill-Doss at Marlinton Middle School.
