This week, ALL Preston County Students will be bringing home a bag of 8-10 apples, courtesy of Kilmer's Farm Market, WV Harvest and the WV Dept. of Ag. as part of their 2024 Apple-achia Giveaway. This morning, 14 pallets loaded with WV Grown Apples were delivered to Central Preston to be distributed out to all schools this week. PCS appreciates the generous donation this holiday season from Kilmer's and WV Harvest, and we hope that an apple a day over the holidays keeps the doctor away for an enjoyable holiday break for all. Special thanks to all of our staff who have volunteered their time and efforts to get these apples distributed to our schools and students.

Good morning. Due to today's power outage and in anticipation of potential weather this afternoon, Terra Alta East Preston is changing the science and social studies fair to Friday, December 13th. Students participating in the fairs and all judges will need to make arrangements for the fair to take place on Friday.
At 6:30AM, PCS was notified by the power company that there'd be a power outage to Terra Alta East Preston for 3-4 hours beginning at 8:15. Most buses are already on the road.

Staff will remain at the school for the duration of the outage. If your student doesn't ride the bus, or hasn't left yet, please keep them at home. If you have any questions, please contact principal Ryan or Jessie at
the school at 304-789-2344. Sorry for the inconvenience as this was not planned or notifications weren't made to the county until this morning.
