We celebrate our teachers today and everyday. We all have those teachers that touched and shaped our lives, and our students are lucky enough to be experiencing the beginnings and endings of that now. Today may be teacher appreciation day, but we appreciate you all everyday. Thank you teachers.

Just a reminder that 8th grade will be traveling to Prickett's Fort tomorrow.

This Summer we will continue to run a couple of camp offerings for our middle school students. We'll be having both a culinary and wellness camp for grades 5-8 in July. These will be capped at the first 20 kids per week for cooking and 30 for wellness.

We have several pairs of glasses that have been found around the building and grounds that no one has claimed. If any of these are your child's please stop by the office to pick them up.

Congratulations to all of our county students who have been selected to the various WV Governor’s Schools this summer! • Governor's School for Computer Science: Abigail McCoy, Logan Murray, and Zoe Fasouletos (PHS) • Governor's Honors Academy: Wyatt Braham, Harley Mersing, Gabrielle Saurino, and Isabel Kincaid (PHS) • Governor's School for the Arts: Jeremey Farling & Marlee Graciano (PHS) • Governor's School for Tourism: Emma Williams (PHS) • Governor’s STEM Institute at Greenbank: Jillian Brock & Kailey Rodeheaver (TAEP) • Governor’s STEM Institute at WVU: Laytun Lyons (Bruceton)

Just a reminder that Krispy Kreme donut orders are due Wednesday. All proceeds help with student equipment, supplies, and more. Thank you for your help and support.

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week across the country, and we may be biased, but we believe that Preston County Schools has the best. For our teachers, there's no such thing as just a 40 hour work week, or summers, weekends and holidays off. These selfless individuals work tirelessly year-round as they're dedicated to the education of our youth and working to ensure our students are successful beyond the classroom and become the good people we know they are and can be. We thank our teachers this week and every week, and ask that you join us this week in celebrating our PCS Teachers.
