A big shoutout to our Perfectly Royal Attendance Winners for October! Thank you for showing up and working hard every day! Congratulations students!

Yesterday, our students honored the brave men and women who have served our country with a heartfelt Veterans Day Assembly. 💙❤️ From inspiring songs and a moving Readers Theater performance, powerful facts about Veterans Day to a Veterans Prayer shared by our students, the program was a beautiful tribute to those who have made sacrifices for our freedom. A special thank you to all the veterans who joined us today — your courage, service, and dedication inspire us all.

Our students had an amazing time meeting the WVU Mountaineer! They even got to take part in a friendly push-up contest where one student was a lucky winner! So much fun and so much Mountaineer pride!
