Our staff had an amazing Staff Appreciation Week thanks to the generosity and support of so many thoughtful people!
The week included a Harvest Table with grilled chicken and salad on Monday, a delicious pulled pork baked potato bar with brownies for dessert provided by Mr. Lambert on Tuesday, Smiley’s Ice Cream on Wednesday, Subway and a surprise new ice maker for the teachers’ lounge on Thursday, and Heavenly Drips coffee and creamery truck on Friday.
A heartfelt thank you to our BSA (Brandywine School Association) for helping make our staff feel so appreciated throughout the week. Thank you as well to Mr. Lambert for generously providing Tuesday’s lunch and dessert for our staff. Your kindness and support mean so much to our school community!
Three of these outstanding students are current BES students, and one is a former BES student who is now at PCMHS— a wonderful reminder that strong writers continue to grow long after they leave our halls.
Congratulations to all four students on this amazing accomplishment! Your creativity, hard work, and love of writing make our school community proud. ❤️📚

Administration is aware of the recent arrest of classroom teacher Madison Day. The criminal charges, if true, are wholly unacceptable and contrary to every expected behavior of a school employee.
Day, as required by state school personnel law, was immediately removed from her teaching job and extracurricular contracts when school administration initiated an investigation.
Appropriate personnel action will continue to be taken regarding Days’ employment status, but please understand personnel laws at this time prevent administration from being specific as to what the next step is, as employees are entitled to due process. However, Day is not and will not be in any classroom. In the near future and after following appropriate due process steps, administration will be making recommendations regarding Days’ employment to the Pendleton County Board of Education.
The West Virginia Department of Education has also been notified and it is anticipated that the WVDE will also take appropriate steps, such as immediately suspending Days’ teaching license given the pending criminal action.
The school system will make no further comments given the pending criminal action.
Please join us in congratulating our Teacher of the Year, Title I Interventionist Mrs. Sandy Armstrong, and our Service Personnel of the Year, Mrs. Connie Hedrick!
We are so lucky to have such dedicated, hardworking individuals in our building. Mrs. Armstrong and Mrs. Hedrick go above and beyond each day to support our students, staff, and school community. Their commitment, kindness, and strong work ethic truly make a difference at BES.
These two amazing staff members are very deserving of this recognition and we know they will represent BES in the most positive way. We couldn’t be more proud!
👏 Congratulations, Mrs. Armstrong and Mrs. Hedrick! 👏
