New River Primary Practices Healthy Habits
The WV CARDIAC Project offers free health screenings and assessment for students enrolled in Kindergarten, 2nd, and 5th grades. A child’s height and weight will be measured and Body Mass Index (BMI) and BMI percentile will be calculated. A child’s neck will also be checked for Acanthosis Nigricans (AN), which is a skin condition that appears as a thickened, velvety mark on the neck that can be related to pre-diabetes. All screenings will be completed while adhering to U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), West Virginia University, and local health department guidelines for preventing the spread of COVID-19. Lee Anna Vermillion, Easton Treadway, Hunter Zink, and Mackenzie Wright from Mrs. Meadows’ 2nd grade class participated in the cardiac screening.
Merry Christmas from New River Intermediate. All I want for Christmas is you! Happy holidays from Fayette County Schools.

New River Primary’s Student Support Team organized a Gingerbread Night on December 15, 2022 that consisted of different snacks and different activities for students to do with their families, such as build a gingerbread house, face painting, color a gingerbread ornament, build a marshmallow snowman, and make a gingerbread headband. There was also a special guest… Santa Clause! The night was a huge success, with over 250 participants! Those that attended were very pleased with the event, and made sure to thank the staff for planning the event. Even days following the event, parents and students were still talking about how much they enjoyed it.
“Can we do that again? I loved it!” Korie Shuff echoed the sentiments of the NRP students and parents who attended WVU’s Night of Code. Utilizing Microsoft’s Make.Code in Minecraft Education Edition, students programmed their agent to destroy fire hazards and navigate mazes as they completed the challenges focused on fire prevention. Many families left that evening with information on how turn their child’s gaming experiences into educational ones.

New River Primary Pre-K students participated in the annual City of Oak Hill Christmas Parade on Saturday, December 10, 2022. Students from both, Ms. Kara Evans and Ms. Faith Cooper’s classrooms attended, along with their parents and families.
The Pre-K elf at Divide Elementary gave the students lights and batteries. The students were challenged to figure out how to light up the strand of Christmas lights.
Plateau Medical Center invited New River Primary to make ornaments for their Christmas tree to be displayed on their Christmas tree in their main lobby at the hospital. They requested that the ornaments be paper ornaments or other type of ornaments. They also requested for teachers to not go out and buy supplies, but to let the students spark their creativity from items they already had on hand! This was a great opportunity for our school to collaborate with another community agency to spread some holiday cheer! Every classroom at New River Primary made ornaments, but those featured in the pictures include ornaments made by students from Ms. Nevi, Mrs. Angelona and Mrs. Fritz’s classrooms.

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.
