Christmas is the season of giving! The fourth grade students of Doddridge Elementary are asking you to do just that! As part of a community service project the students created flyers and videos to encourage the public to donate to the Doddridge County Humane Society. If you find it in your heart to give, donations are due by December 12, 2025 to a 4th grade classroom.

🍎🌽 Attendance Matters at Doddridge County Elementary School! πŸ₯”πŸŽƒ

Today, thanks to a fantastic partnership with our Holistic Child Department/Communities In Schools Team, Route 18 Farmer’s Market, and the Doddridge County Farmer’s Market, students had the exciting opportunity to participate in a special on-site Farmer’s Market β€” part of our ongoing attendance incentive program.

Because they showed up and were ready to learn on this beautiful day, students received tokens and reusable bags to β€œshop” for a wide variety of fresh produce β€” including cabbage, peppers, pumpkins, potatoes, apples, and much more! πŸ›οΈπŸπŸ₯¬

Our students were thrilled to pick out their own fruits and vegetables and couldn’t wait to take them home to help prepare a healthy family meal. πŸ₯—πŸ‘©β€πŸ³

We extend a heartfelt thank you to the Holistic Child Department/Communities In Schools Team, Route 18 Farmer’s Market, and the Doddridge County Farmer’s Market for donating their time and resources to help promote healthy habits and the importance of school attendance.
