according to His purpose. Romans 8:28

STANFORD ACHIEVEMENT TESTING – Students are beginning now to review on a regular basis for standardized testing this spring.
This spring, juniors will be preparing for the WVSAT, which is a standardized test provided by the College Board and paid by the State of WV to show how well students are prepared for success at the college level. It is also used to determine eligibility for the PROMISE SCHOLARSHIP, or 4-year tuition scholarships for in-state colleges. This test will be April 12, 2023.
This year, grades 1-12 will be taking the Stanford Achievement test instead of Terra Nova. Please do not schedule appointments, vacations, etc., during this week, which will be April 17-21. It is very important that students are in class with no disruptions.
SECONDARY CHAPEL INFORMATION: Secondary students did community work for their chapel this week. On January 25th, the middle school students made Valentine cards for the local nursing home residents. The high school students worked at a local food pantry.

GRANTS RECEIVED FOR SECONDARY SCIENCE AND HISTORY: A grant was received from NASA entitled, “Plant the Moon Challenge.” Participants in the Plant the Moon Challenge will join a global science experiment and research challenge to examine how vegetable crops can be grown in lunar soil. Each team will receive real lunar soil simulant from the University of Central Florida’s CLASS Exolith Lab. They will design and conduct a set of experiments using this lunar simulant to grow crops for a future long-duration lunar mission. This grant was for the secondary sciences.
Another grant that was sponsored by NASA WEST VIRGINIA SPACE GRANT CONSORTIUM was received for the secondary science classes taught by Mrs. Amy Adkins, Mrs. Heather Ball, and Mr. David Dangerfield. Our school was selected to receive a RECF Aerial Drone!
