In celebration of Teacher Appreciation Week, I would like to thank all of our teachers for their dedication to our students. Our profession is not always easy, but yet our teachers put the needs of the students as their priority with little fanfare and far too little appreciation. Please take the time to thank your child's teachers for all that they do. In a world of uncertainty, one thing you can count on is that teachers genuinely care about kids. I, for one, appreciate them all! Thank you!

I would like to clarify one statement from the post on Friday, March 28. The West Virginia State Police was NOT responsible for the background checks done for our employees. That was not correct. The company that does the background checks for many counties in West Virginia is WV Identogo, not the West Virginia State Police. The State Police were not involved in any hiring process for our employees.
Due to a water issue, Glade Creek Elementary will be closed today.
