Here are two lovelies at Midland Trail High. Ms Persinger and Ms Burton are so fabulous. They are a dynamic duo. They help middle school kids during those trying teen times and then move on to those high school years where they help our young adults become actual adults. We love the Trail counselors. Come to the school and see what they do.
Your calls are important to us! We are currently having an issue with our main phone number at the board office. We are working with the provider to resolve the issue. Thank you for your patience.
Counselor Ms Jean English is so amazing we can’t find the great words to share how fantastic she is. She has a partner in crime at Oak Hill Middle Ms. Kim Richmond.

This week Noel Mitchell from WVU Extension Agency and Americorps member Jazlynn Hambrick visited New River Primary, Ansted Elementary, and Divide Elementary schools for their monthly taste tests. The focus this month was on sweet potatoes, and the students were delighted with a special treat of sweet potato fries. This initiative is an excellent way to introduce students to new and healthy foods which they can also learn to prepare themselves. Encouraging students to make their own sweet potato dishes not only promotes healthy eating habits but also empowers them to be more involved in their nutrition choices. Additionally, providing them with the opportunity to vote on their preferences adds an element of engagement and participation. It's a creative way to blend culinary education with promoting a sense of autonomy and responsibility for one's health.
