Pendleton County Energy Express is a FREE summer reading and arts program, which also includes some STEM education. Students are sent home each week with a book around the weekly topic, which is focused on Myself, Family, Friends, Home place, Community, and making our world a better place. It also ensures that students in the program have at least 2 meals a day throughout the 6-week summer program. Thank you to everyone that makes this program possible for Pendleton County, our volunteers, bus drivers, staff, and our community partners. Lots of learning combined with lots of fun equals a wonderful summer!
Thank you, Hayley Craig, for representing Pendleton County Schools.
My name is Matt Kelly, and I serve as the Secondary Social Studies Coordinator at the West Virginia Department of Education.
I wanted to share that Hayley Craig recently participated in the inaugural Mountains of Evidence pilot cohort, a professional learning initiative focused on integrating data literacy into social studies instruction.
Over three days, participants explored strategies for using charts, graphs, maps, timelines, and other data visualizations to strengthen student learning. As the work continues, they will collaborate with educators across the state to develop and share resources and best practices.
I also wanted to personally thank you and your staff for recommending Hayley for participation. They were an outstanding representative of your district and made valuable contributions throughout the week.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions. Thank you for your continued support of high-quality social studies education!
