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.

Thank you to the families who attended FSA's first ever spring carnival! We were blown away by the abundance of support for this event. The night was full of laughter and fun.

We would also like to thank all of our volunteers, both parents and staff. It wouldn't have been possible without such a dedicated team.

We look forward to celebrating again next year!

Three Cheers for Our Book Fair Volunteers!

We were so fortunate to have an incredible group of volunteers who helped make this year’s Book Fair a success. This event simply wouldn’t be possible without their time, energy, and dedication. A BIG THANK YOU to each and every one of you!

We would also like to give a special shoutout to one truly outstanding volunteer—Carol Vandevander—who has been running the FES Scholastic Book Fair for an amazing 40 years! Her commitment and passion have made a lasting impact on our school community.

Year after year, she brings a little extra magic to the Book Fair—especially when she brings Professor McGonagall to life, delighting students and making the experience even more memorable.

We are so grateful for all she has done!
