🌟 Shout out to our amazing community, staff and students! 🌟 Thank you for coming together to support the flood victims in southern WV! 🙌 Just look at the incredible items collected to help our fellow Mountaineers recover from the recent flooding. 😍 Donated items were delivered to the McDowell County Board of Education office on 3/27 by Ms. Tritapoe and Mrs. Wilfong. In addition to the donated goods, MMS and PCHS hosted penny drives to collect monetary donations for victims that were also delivered. McDowell County staff were FLOORED by the generosity of our county and were deeply appreciative of our efforts! 💙 #CommunityStrong #WVRecovery #MountaineerPride #WVStrong #GreatThingsFromPC
