🌟 Today we celebrate School Service Personnel across Pocahontas County Schools! 🌟
From our dedicated bus drivers navigating mountain roads, to the secretaries, aides, custodians, cooks, and countless others—these everyday heroes keep our schools running smoothly and our students safe, supported, and cared for. 🍎🚌💛
As we embrace this year’s theme—Stronger Together—we recognize that it’s the teamwork, heart, and commitment of our service personnel that truly make our schools shine. 💪🏽✨
Let’s take a moment to say thank you to the incredible individuals who make a difference in our schools every single day. We are stronger because of you!

The staff at Marlinton Middle School look forward to seeing all of our students and families at open house this evening from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM. Our very own Ms. Hughes has worked really hard to plan an exciting evening with some pretty awesome door prices at the end! We will have community members, workshops, required device agreement station, and opportunities to meet with teachers along with many other things. There are extra mums for sale so please bring money to support MMS! We hope to see you all this evening!
First LSIC meeting for MMS will be on September 22 at MMS 3:30 pm. We hope to see you there. New member will be announced on Friday afternoon. Please vote if you haven't.
Also - please come support our mum sales at MMS. They are beautiful!
Reminder of Open House tomorrow 4:30-6:30 pm.
Reminder, all current 6th, 7th, and 8th graders were informed at the end of the school year last year and during fifth grade move up day that there were new requirements to participate in literature fair this year. All students received a packet during this time (or could get one from any local library) that had to be completed for the book of your choice that was read during the summer. Students, if you want to be eligible to participate in the 2025 literature fair, you need to turn your literature packet into your English Language Arts teacher no later than Friday, September 12. If you read a book over the summer and have not completed your packet, you have one week to finish that. If you need a new packet, please see Mrs. Doss.
Also reminder the mum fundraiser starts tomorrow. Please come support MMS students and staff.
