This week, ALL Preston County Students will be bringing home a bag of 8-10 apples, courtesy of Kilmer's Farm Market, WV Harvest and the WV Dept. of Ag. as part of their 2024 Apple-achia Giveaway. This morning, 14 pallets loaded with WV Grown Apples were delivered to Central Preston to be distributed out to all schools this week. PCS appreciates the generous donation this holiday season from Kilmer's and WV Harvest, and we hope that an apple a day over the holidays keeps the doctor away for an enjoyable holiday break for all. Special thanks to all of our staff who have volunteered their time and efforts to get these apples distributed to our schools and students.
