💙💛 Building Hope at Grafton High School! 💛💙
A heartfelt THANK YOU to our amazing community volunteers, GHS seniors, and freshman students for making today’s Building Hope program such a meaningful experience!
Building Hope is designed to strengthen social and emotional connections among students by encouraging self-awareness, empathy, compassion, healthy relationships, responsible choices, and inclusion. Through engaging activities, meaningful conversations, and opportunities to better understand one another, students are reminded that everyone has a story, everyone faces challenges, and a simple act of kindness can make a lasting difference.
We are especially grateful to our community volunteers for giving their time, sharing their wisdom, and creating a safe, supportive environment where our students could connect, reflect, and grow. Thank you to our seniors for helping guide and encourage our freshmen as they navigate their high school journey.
Today was about more than just a program—it was about building connections, choosing kindness, looking beyond the surface, and creating a school community where every student feels seen, valued, and included. ❤️
Thank you to everyone who helped make Building Hope possible at Grafton High School. Together, we are building a stronger, more compassionate Bearcat family!

Last week, students in Digital Imaging/Multimedia II (Mrs. Ward) and Business & Marketing (Mrs. Bolyard) combined classes to welcome Dr. Laurel Cook from West Virginia University.
Dr. Cook is an Associate Professor, specializing in Marketing, at the John Chambers College of Business and Economics. She created a custom presentation to share with students with an emphasis on marketing, branding, and promoting Riverside Designs, student-run Simulated Workplace. Student members of FBLA, Future Business Leaders of America, could also ask questions and apply the information learned towards preparing for competitive events.
Laurel encouraged students to create their own website to better market themselves for opportunities ranging from scholarships to employment. Her presentation concluded with Careers in Marketing and sharing a student opportunity to serve on a Teen Advisory Board. Serving on the board can help students with networking, resume building, and contributing to research. Grade 9-12 students can email Dr. Cook, laurel.cook@mail.wvu.edu, directly and express their interest.
Thank you, Dr. Cook for sharing your time and talents with our GHS Bearcats!
