Due to this evening's Home Varsity Football Opener, the evening activity buses will depart from Preston High School at 5:15, instead of 5:45. Again, the buses will be departing PHS for those who participate in after-school functions 30 minutes early to be able to get out before traffic begins coming in.
Lunch menu change for September 3rd: pizza, green beans, applesauce, fruit punch, milk. A change for September 5th: chicken patty sandwich, sweet potato fries, peas, fruit, milk.
Don't forget to join us tomorrow evening for the opener of the Knights 2024 Football Season. Our Knights' Football Team will not only be representing PHS in their season opener at home, but the WV Army National Guard in the kick-off to the WVARNG Gridiron Series. This team was chosen as they show grit, determination, and represent the Army's values every time they take the field. So let's pack Knights Stadium this Friday and show Hampshire and the state what being a Knight is all about.
We want to give a huge thanks to Mountain Laurel Medical Center in Bruceton! Their staff and patients donated a bunch of school supplies for our kids and classrooms today! We truly have the best community in the county! #SchoolOfChampions #GoodThingsHappenHere
September Breakfast and Lunch Menus - 2 "New Item" Days - Following these days, surveys will go out to see if these are items we want to permanently add into our rotation.
Just a reminder that there's no school on Monday, September 2nd due to Labor Day.
Due to changes in our attendance policies as it relates to changes made at the state level, this will be how the county is handling our participants in the Buckwheat Festival this year as it relates to attendance. More info will follow.

This week's #PrestonCountyReads focus. Each week, we'll be posting different tips to improve your child's reading. Be sure to include the hashtag on any posts, images or videos you'd like to share of your student working on their skills. Remember, numerous studies have defined that 15-30 minutes of reading a day will help your child improve their literacy, and even for adults will support brain health for a lifetime.
Bruceton School's 5th Grade will be selling mums again this year. Stop by the school parking lot from 8am-12pm on September 7th. You do not need to buy through a student or pre-order. Just swing through and our students will load you up! First come, first served. Mums are $10 and in 12" pots. Checks or cash only. They are grown in Terra Alta and are the most beautiful mums around!
Our trial with PikMyKid has ended and we have decided to discontinue its use. Information on parent pick-up car cards, like in previous years, will be coming soon.

We hope to see all our 6th graders and their parents tonight at 6th Grade Academy. It runs from 5:00 - 7:00 and begins in the cafeteria. All our 6th graders will get an orientation to middle school, their locker combination, class schedule, find out about athletics and more.
We want to give a huge thanks to The Bruceton Barbershop. They donated over $200 to the school! Our plan is to use it toward picnic tables to go underneath our brand new sunshade that is going up.
It was great seeing everyone at tonight's Back to School Bash. We had well over 500 kids, parents, and guests stop by to say hello! Thanks to all the groups who had activities and games for the kids!
Just a reminder for all parents and students of the vaccination requirements to enter school in the state of WV. These are for all students. Please contact your local health department if you have not done so already to get these scheduled to avoid any unnecessary absences as we begin this school year.
Good evening Preston County. Just a reminder that tomorrow begins our staggered start week. Tomorrow we welcome back our 4th, 5th, 11th and 12th grade students. Remember, school breakfast and lunch are free for all students, and we encourage all of you to take advantage and get fueled up for your day. See you tomorrow.
