On Monday, November 4, TAEP hosted the NED Show - the Mindset Mission Assembly.
NED and our students took a journey to find their positive mindset. The show was filled
with storytelling, humor, illusions and amazing yo-yo tricks where our kids learned the
hidden message in NED's name:
Never give up — understand The Power of YET
Encourage others — spark courage in other people
Do your best® — always be learning and growing
Do you want to learn to yo? A yo-yo is both a mindset tool and a tangible reminder of
NED's message. While learning to yo, children will make mistakes, try again and improve. The NED Show is offering yo-yo's for sale at TAEP. Prices are included on the attached flier: Classic Yos $10; Super Spinners $14; Speciality Selection $18. Yos are on sale at TAEP through November 13th from 7 - 8 am.

Music Programs at both South Preston and Terra Alta East Preston were recipients this year of the VH1 Save the Music Foundation Grant. This grant will help to support both schools in their music education efforts by providing musical instruments to those students in need, thus growing our bands and giving a student the ability to be in the band, who might not have been able to acquire an instrument otherwise. To date, all schools in Preston County with middle school bands have been recipients of this grant. Preston County Schools would like to thank VH1, Conn Selmer and WV Cabinet Secretary, Department of Arts, Culture and History , Randall Reid-Smith. Today was another day to be Preston Proud.
