The biology classes today finally got to utilize the stream behind the high school! Fairmont State biology instructor Kelly Flaherty and volunteers from Save the Tygart came to work with our students today. Students participated in a stream study and were able to measure things like the pH of the water, the bugs that live in the stream and several other factors that affect the health of the stream. It was a great day, and we look forward to working in the stream and with the Save the Tygart organization more in the future.
Congratulations to our GHS Welding raffle winner, Mr. Mark Zeck. Thank you to all who donated and purchased tickets. Enjoy your new trailer, Mr. Zeck 🥳🐾

Violet Rubenstein

Hispanic Honor Society had 2 very busy days. They hosted a Hispanic experience for the children at the elementary schools in Taylor County.
Yesterday they went to West Taylor in the morning and Flemington Elementary in the afternoon. Today they went to Anna Jarvis. Students rotated in 5 different stations where they learned about Spanish greetings, the book Brown Bear, Brown Bear, Hispanic countries, and a salsa band. They also were able to taste homemade tortillas and Maria cookies. Muchas gracias estudiantes. You are the best.
TOMORROW is the last day to purchase prom tickets. You can purchase online or pay in cash or with a check during lunches tomorrow.
