The books have arrived! Our students are receiving their books from the Book Blast we completed before fall break. Thank you to everyone who donated to make this possible.





We want to thank Judge Headley and his family for the generous donation for our playground. This donation was in memory of their mother, Peg Headley, who was a long time teacher at Fillmore Elementary. Our students are so appreciative of the new playground equipment!

Great news! South Putnam has partnered with the YMCA to provide an after-school child care program for our K-5 elementary students. Details to follow soon. But first, the YMCA needs to staff the program. If you know of anyone who may be interested in working with our elementary students in a structured after-school program, please see the flyer attached or email Michaela Sinclair at msinclair@ymcaswv.org
