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.

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
