A HUGE THANK YOU to all of the families that donated to the "Let Your Light Shine" organization's Easter meal food drive! We collected a great deal of items over the past several weeks for an excellent cause! Kindergarten brought in the most donations overall and are the winners of a pizza party!
The Preston County Beekeepers Association each year awards a youth scholar with the needed supplies to get started in beekeeping. This includes the physical hive, a nuc of bees, bee suit, etc. The association also has a member who serves as the mentor for a year to work with the student to teach them how to care for bees.
The opportunity is open to youth in Preston County between the ages of 12 and 16. The recipient is selected from the application process and chosen by the association members.
The selection committee will meet in April. All applications are due to the Preston County Extension Office at 115 W Court Street, Kingwood, WV 26537, by April 15, 2024. Late applications will NOT be accepted.
