Welcome to the Energy Kick Off!
8th Grade students had a wonderful experience yesterday at their Energy Project Kick-off. Professionals in the fields of Energy, Coal, Oil and Gas, and Forest Management were invited to speak to our Team students about how they manage natural resources and about their career path. As part of their investigation, students will create a psa/pamphlet, Solar Car or Windmill model, a map of West Virginia, as well as learning about the historical resources of the Mountain State.

Therefore, the Harrison County After school 21st CCLC Department with Upshur County would like to reapply with the Project ISAAC After school Grant Application for the next five years. Parental/Guardian input is very important to the grant reapplication process. Please complete and return this interest survey to your child’s school no later than Friday, May 21, 2021.
