Today, through a partnership with our Holistic Child Department/Communities in Schools, Child Nutrition program, Route 18 Farmer's Market and the Doddridge County Farmer's Market, DCELA and DCES students were able to participate in an attendance incentive of an onsite "Famer's Market". Attendance Matters and being at school on this beautiful day allowed our students to participate in this event. Students were given tokens and bags to shop for a variety of produce including cabbage, peppers, pumpkins, potatoes, carrots, apples, and many more other fruits and vegetables. Students were excited to shop for their own produces and could not wait to get their items home to help with a family meal!
Doddridge County Schools would like to thank our Holistic Child Department/Communities in Schools, Child Nutrition program, Route 18 Farmer's Market and the Doddridge County Farmer's Market for their time and resources to ensure our students are making healthy choices.
In Doddridge County Schools, we have been INCREDIBLY BLESSED to partner with some of the BEST BUSINESSES in West Virginia...and Hall Drilling is a PRIME EXAMPLE of this!!! In the last year or so, we have been working with companies that are interested in investing in a Trucking Simulator for our high school students. We were SO EXCITED when Hall Drilling (Mike and MT Hall) agreed to purchase a state-of-the-art Trucking Simulator for the students of DCHS. This simulator will not only provide students the opportunity to practice driving a truck in a safe and engaging workspace, but also practice and prepare to get their CDL's when they turn 18 years old. The impact of this purchase is INVALUABLE and will make a positive difference in this community for years to come!!! Thank you again to Mike and MT Hall for continuing to make a difference in the lives of our students and the community!!! #UnitedToMakeADifference #BulldogsInTheBuilding
