Thank You for Supporting Our Food Drive!
This week, Communities In Schools hosted a food drive at each school. Thanks to the generosity of our students, families, and staff, we were able to provide much-needed food to local food pantries. Your kindness and support make a real difference in our community—thank you for helping us give back!

🎓 WV College Fair and WVU tour 💙💛
Today, our interested juniors and seniors had the exciting opportunity to visit West Virginia University for the WV College Fair! Students met with representatives from colleges across West Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, learning more about future academic and career pathways.
In addition to the fair, we enjoyed a guided tour of the beautiful WVU campus.
A huge thank-you to WVU for hosting our students and providing an informative, welcoming, and memorable day. We truly appreciate your hospitality and commitment to helping our students explore their futures! 🌟
Hour of AI: Be on the lookout for more questions each week!
