Fayette County Gifted Program Visits Glenville State University and Learns about Brain Development Middle and High School students from the Fayette County Gifted Program toured Glenville State University on October 27, 2022. While there, Professor Katelyn Ensor, specializing in Cognitive Science, lectured students on brain development. Fayette County launched a pilot program for middle school gifted students last year. All gifted students from across the county are bussed to Oak Hill Middle School where they study Problem Based Learning units that involve critical and creative thinking and help solve real world problems. This year students have been studying brain development. Topics covered include metacognition, schema, moral decision making, and problem solving. Mrs. Ensor’s lecture helped to deepen student understanding and give them more ideas to incorporate in their projects. Students were able to learn about college life, academics, admission costs, and begin thinking about their futures. Ava Queen and Holly Jones from Oak Hill Middle School, as well as Dean Ryan from Meadow Bridge High School, volunteered to complete a problem-solving activity during the presentation.

This past week our Prevention Resource Officers (PRO) attended a week long conference in Wheeling. The Sheriff's Office has 3 PRO officers in schools in our County, Oak Hill High, Oak Hill Middle and Midland Trail high schools. The PRO Program is a cooperative effort between the Fayette County Board of Education and the Fayette County Sheriff's Office. This program is in place to help improve students' attitudes and knowledge of criminal justice and law enforcement; to prevent juvenile delinquency; to mentor youth; to provide a safer school environment and; to combine safety and child advocacy assuring a better school experience for all Fayette County youth. This is able to be done because of you, the citizens of Fayette County, and your support in passing the schools' excess levy.
