BEARCATS FIGHT TOGETHER - Homecoming Week Collection
At Grafton High School, we are more than just a school, we are a family.

Many of you remember last year when we collected donations for our Bearcats Fight Together Fund. We are continuing this tradition during Homecoming Week to help support our Bearcats who are facing difficult medical times.

At this time, several members of our staff are walking through medical and health challenges. We are choosing to honor their privacy by keeping their names confidential. These are individuals who have given so much of their time, care, and energy to our students and community. Now, it’s our turn to show them that Bearcats do not fight alone. EVERY DONATION COUNTS!

💙 Donate $1 or more and receive an EXTRA POINT toward your class for that day’s Spirit Day! You can donate EVERY DAY of Spirit Week to help your class earn additional points!

HOW TO DONATE
IN PERSON:
Bring your donation during morning check-in each day next week.

ONLINE:
Donate online using the link/QR code provided.

ALL WEEK LONG
September 28 – October 2

Your donation can make a difference in the life of a fellow Bearcat.

Together, we can show our Bearcats that they never have to fight alone.

Congratulations to some of our GHS alumni on being inducted into the WV 4H All Stars, an honorary 4-H Organization! 👏🏼 We are proud of all of you! 💙💛🐾 The following was posted to the WVU Taylor County Extension Office page: This afternoon, 3 Taylor County 4-H members were inducted into the WV 4-H All Stars, the 4-H honorary organization. These members do not apply for membership or request membership in the organization. They do not receive membership in the WV 4-H All Stars because they attended lots of 4-H club meetings and went to 4-H camp. They must earn their membership through service to the 4-H program and be nominated by an existing 4-H All Star. That nomination which must document their service to the program must than be approved by the selection committee. Congratulations to Emily Himes, Meghan Henline, and Kaige Andrews on their selection and induction into the WV 4-H All Stars. You each have spent many nights at 4-H camp leading the 1st year overnighter and Cloverbud Evening Camps. You have served as officers within your community 4-H Clubs, the teen leaders club and provided leadership to these clubs and more. You have earned your membership in the organization through your hard work with these events and many more.
