Congrats to Bella and Camdyn on their incredible seasons and conference recognition. Well-deserved ladies. As always, in our conference, coaches are not permitted to vote for their own players. Coaches can only vote for players not on their team. So this recognition came from those who the played against. Preston Proud.

Happy Pi Day Preston County!!! March 14th is celebrated in many countries as Pi Day, because that date is written as 3/14, and the mathematical constant Pi is approximately 3.14. Today is also Einstein's birthday and recognized as the International Day of Mathematics. Every year, the International Mathematical Union announces a theme for the celebration, spark creativity and bring light to connections between mathematics and all sorts of fields, concepts and ideas. The theme for 2026: Mathematics and Hope.

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.

This past week was National FFA Week, which always runs from Saturday to Saturday and encompasses Feb. 22nd, George Washington's birthday. This year, the week kicked off on Feb. 21 and culminated on Saturday, Feb. 28th.

The National FFA Board of Directors designated the weeklong tradition, which began in 1948, recognizing Washington's legacy as an agriculturist and farmer. A group of young farmers founded FFA in 1928, and the organization has been influencing generations that agriculture is more than planting and harvesting — it involves science, business and more.

Last week, Preston FFA had a sprit week planned but only were able to do two out of the 5 days due to snow days: Thursday – Morning Chores (PJ Day) and Friday – Blue and Gold or Official Dress.

The National FFA Organization is a school-based national youth leadership development organization of more than 1,042,245 student members as part of 9,407 local FFA chapters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

This week is National School Social Work Week, where we honor school social workers for their role in helping students navigate social, emotional, and academic challenges. While the entire month of March is dedicated to social work as a profession, this specific week focuses on our school-based professionals, who alongside their teachers, counselors, community members and parents, are helping to shape our future. PCS is lucky to have these individuals working alongside our staff and with our students each and every day.
