Thales, the first Greek Mathematician and philosopher said, "Hope is the most universal of all human possessions."
More than 2,500 years later, we can also say that mathematics is one of the most universal human possessions.
Connecting hope and mathematics creates opportunities for deeper insight and knowledge. Mathematics gives us hope to understand reality and truth clearly, share common definitions, learn cooperation, use data responsibly, find win-win strategies, and more.
Even if you're just looking for an excuse to eat some pie, today is that day too.
PRESTON COUNTY SCHOOL CALENDAR UPDATE AND CHANGES:
Preston County Schools would like to provide an update related to our current year academic calendar. This will be reflected with an updated calendar on the county page later today. A waiver request of the 180-day requirement was submitted by Mr. Martin on March 6th for a waiver of (4) dates that were missed due to weather during the last week of January that were a part of the Governor's emergency declaration. The waiver has been approved. As a result, the last day of school for students will be Thursday, May 28th if the district has no additional snow days between now and the end of the school year. This will also allow Tuesday, April 7th to now be a day off of school for students and 200-day staff for an extended Easter Break as it was previously scheduled to be prior to the snow. If we have any snow days for the remainder of the year, announcements will be made on needed calendar adjustments.
Our library is sponsoring a book illustration contest! Here are the details:
• Open to all grades and students at Bruceton School

• Submit your entry to the library volunteers by April 6th.
• One winning design will be chosen for each of the 10 books.
• Winners will be chosen at the April 14th Academic Boosters Meeting.
PCS Students, the weather is beginning to look like "Sun's Out/Guns Out," Spring is around the corner, and time to chase the Winter Blues away and either maintain or improve your wellness. Announcing the week of March 16th and beginning on the first day of Spring, March 20th, students will be given wellness activities to participate in through May 1st. At that time, verification will be open via a forms and must be fully completed. Winners will be chosen at random from those completing the challenge, which will include verification of activities completed, and a brief summary of an overall wellness program, developed by the student, to continue throughout the Summer. Prizes awarded and delivered by May 8th. All of this made possible through grant-funding specifically for student wellness. If any local or area businesses are interested in sponsoring a staff challenge, please reach out to Justin Hough, PCS Director of Child Nutrition and Communications at jhough@k12.wv.us.
