On 9/25, we went from “9 to 5” Dolly style! Our students brought plenty of sparkle and country flair with pink, rhinestones, fringe, denim, boots, and cowboy hats! We loved seeing everyone show off their personality and school spirit while celebrating an icon who reminds us:

“Find out who you are, and do it on purpose.” — Dolly Parton

Thanks to all of our students and staff who joined in the fun and made our halls shine a little brighter!

Franklin Elementary’s sixth graders had the opportunity to step back in time with a visit to the Boggs House Museum, the oldest house in Pendleton County!

The students learned about the home’s history and its important role as a frontier fort during the early days of our county. Today, the Boggs House is cared for by the Pendleton County Historical Society, which works to preserve and share the rich history of Pendleton County through the many artifacts and stories housed there.

What a wonderful opportunity for our students to experience local history firsthand and see how the past helps shape the community we know today!

6th Grade Treasure Mountain Festival Activity
Mrs. George’s second graders had a great time celebrating Treasure Mountain Festival with a special scavenger hunt!

Students searched for items that offered a glimpse into life and traditions of years past, including an old-fashioned washboard, lantern, quilt, and many more!

It was a fun, hands-on way for our students to explore Appalachian heritage, learn about items used by generations before them, and enjoy a little adventure along the way!

As part of our Treasure Mountain Festival activities, our kindergarten students had a special opportunity to learn about traditional Appalachian instruments and songs with the Dulcimer Dames!

Students listened, learned, and joined in the fun as they explored the sounds and musical traditions that have been passed down through generations in Appalachia.

What a wonderful way for our youngest Panthers to experience a piece of our local culture and heritage through music!

A special thank you to the Dulcimer Dames for sharing their music, talents, and Appalachian traditions with our students!

As part of our Treasure Mountain Festival fun, our fifth graders had the chance to learn how to play the traditional game of marbles!

Students learned the rules, practiced their aim, and enjoyed a little friendly competition while experiencing a game that has entertained generations. It was a fun way to step away from today’s technology and discover how kids entertained themselves in years past!

Our fourth grade classes had a wonderful time visiting the Quilt Show at the Treasure Mountain Festival! Students explored the beautiful quilts on display and even had the chance to vote for their favorite!

The learning didn’t stop there! Students watched demonstrations of spinning, weaving, and quilting, giving them a firsthand look at the skill, creativity, and craftsmanship behind these traditional arts.

What a great way to bring local traditions to life and celebrate the heritage of our community during Treasure Mountain Festival Week!

Yesterday, Elizabeth Mitchell visited Mrs. Mowery’s class to share the timeless art of sewing and quilting with our students!

Students learned how different patterns, colors, and even small scraps of fabric can be carefully pieced together to create something beautiful. It was a wonderful opportunity for our students to see how creativity, craftsmanship, and tradition come together through the art of quilting.
