Good evening. Just a reminder that tomorrow, October 25th is a professional day for staff and no school for students in Preston County. Again, tomorrow the 25th, there will be no school for students in Preston County. Have a great weekend.
Music Programs at both South Preston and Terra Alta East Preston were recipients this year of the VH1 Save the Music Foundation Grant. This grant will help to support both schools in their music education efforts by providing musical instruments to those students in need, thus growing our bands and giving a student the ability to be in the band, who might not have been able to acquire an instrument otherwise. To date, all schools in Preston County with middle school bands have been recipients of this grant. Preston County Schools would like to thank VH1, Conn Selmer and WV Cabinet Secretary, Department of Arts, Culture and History , Randall Reid-Smith. Today was another day to be Preston Proud.
Good luck Knights!!!

November's Breakfast and Lunch Menus
There is a new item in November for lunch which resembles the McRib Sandwich, as well as trying out boneless wings with a variety of sauces for our students to try to see which dipping sauces they like. We will also be trying out a breakfast burrito. Feedback from the survey was appreciated and taken into account, and from December on, all menus will be based on a majority of the surveys favorites, and removal of those items a majority didn't like or wants less of. Any questions, comments or concerns, feel free to email Justin Hough, Director of Child Nutrition and Communications at jhough@k12.wv.us
Preston County Schools Upcoming Staff Wellness Challenge:
Don't let time be an excuse to not take care of you. We're only at our best, because you're at your best. From November through February (4 Months), Staff is invited to participate in a wellness challenge. You can do this for personal benefit, pride, or county bragging rights. At the end of each month, certify yourself at the link provided on that month’s calendar (posted on Facebook). 6 winners will be chosen each month to receive a “Preston Strong” hat, courtesy of Affordable Signs Unlimited. Those 24 winners will also be placed into a drawing in March for a grand prize (TBD, but a goodie). The county will also keep track of school submissions and will post our "Top Schools" each month.
Tomorrow begins National School Lunch Week. President John F. Kennedy created National School Lunch Week (NSLW) in 1962 to promote the importance of a healthy school lunch in a child's life, and the impact it has inside and outside of the classroom. We have selected fan favorites to highlight the week, as well as focusing on a "farm to table" day on Wednesday, featuring WV pork and fruits. And as always in Preston County Schools, all students eat for FREE.
Students and staff at Preston High School will be featured in an upcoming story for WV Public Broadcasting. Staff and students were recently interviewed and questioned on the topics of school threats, actual and hoaxes, safety, preparedness, and their understanding of and how they are learning in school as it relates to the election process and our past and upcoming elections, both local and federal. Staff participants included (pictured Left to Right) were James Veltri, Rachel Arbogast, Danielle Barker, and Jonathan Tennant; student participants included (pictured Left to Right ) were Colson Manko, Carley Casteel, Bryson McNew, and Jeremy Farling.

There have been on again, off again phone issues reported at Central, South Preston, Terra Alta, PHS, and the Board of Education Offices. This is an external, Frontier issue. We are working to get them resolved. Calls are able to be made, but quality is hit or miss. We apologize for any inconvenience.
October 2nd is National Custodial Worker's Recognition Day. Preston County Schools would like to show our appreciation and invite all to show theirs to our hard-working custodians who keep our schools and workplaces across the county clean, safe and running smoothly. We have the best!
There is a miscommunication on the calendar showing that next Friday, October 11th is a 2-hour early dismissal. This is an error and will actually be a full day for students and staff. Our apologies for any confusion. All upcoming dates are correct, but subject to change due to weather or other circumstances.
