Thank you to Ms. Dalton for organizing another successful Bearcat Sugar Rush! This evening, we had 312 children visit Grafton High School and see all the offerings they can enjoy as they enter their high school years. Thank you for those who helped make this night a success: janitors, student volunteers after school who set up, groups that participated and the secret judge.
Congratulations to Mrs. Sayres and ProStart for having the winning table.

In math (and in life), structure means patterns, organization, or rules that help us understand and solve problems more efficiently. Check out this short video focused on the importance of looking for and making use of structure as it relates to WVU football.

Jonathan Ady, who attended Grafton High in the Nineties, visited the GHS library to talk about his newly published book, Green Hills Of Magic, which highlights the beauty of WV. There's even a little feature on Grafton. Some of the kids got to talk to Ady about their desire to create and publish on their own someday. Ady signed a school copy of the book, which was donated to the high school library by the teacher sorority Alpha Delta Kappa, in honor of Martha Rose Roy, local educator. Mr. Ady even brought some of his stickers and cards with his graphic designs to share with the kids. It was a great visit, and we're hoping he'll stop by again someday in the future. Once A Bearcat, Always A Bearcat.
