Alex Richardson, who wrote, Home to You visited New River Primary. Mrs. Priestley’s 2nd grade class is posed with West Virginia author, Alex Richardson. Throughout the week, teachers were encouraged to discuss West Virginia with their students and what their favorite thing about West Virginia is, specifically their favorite place, such as their backyard, New River Gorge Bridge, a tree they like to climb, or their favorite fishing or camping location. The students were then encouraged to write or discuss how those places makes them feel. The purpose of this activity was for students to celebrate being from West Virginia and all it has to offer, while also celebrating a local author!

Mrs. Alderman’s 2nd grade class at New River Primary created their own bowl of Lucky Charms for a Social-Emotional Learning lesson on St. Patrick’s Day! Students were able to share things or people they are lucky to have, a time or times when they feel lucky, and what makes them feel EXTRA lucky! Then they were able to color and cut out different lucky charms to fill up their own bowl of Lucky Charms cereal. This class deserves a special shout-out for being super kind and respectful during their entire lesson… great job Mrs. Alderman’s class!

Mat Anderson and Autumn Crouch had a fun day planned for their students at Divide Elementary. Planning for this day involved the whole school. For an entire month all other classes were involved in a challenge to collect items to donate to the New River Humane Society. The amount they collected was so appreciated by all the animal residents! Food, cleaning products, toys and treats were loaded into a Fayette County school bus with twenty four eager student ready to bowl at Pinheads. The day was full of laughter and pride as they bowled and enjoyed pizza. Next the trip to New River Humane Society allowed all the children to see cats and present volunteers the donation of goodies. The amount was enough that it fill six full seats on the bus.
