Exciting news! Our PaperPie Book Fair is Coming to West Taylor October 21-23! Read below for more information, or visit the site at: https://paperpie.com/brandpartner/Z11363/event/4037263


Please join us!


Taylor County Schools hosted a farmer's market for our students today. Students participated in agriculture lessons to learn where their food comes from and earned $4 in vouchers to spend at the farmer's market. Farmers from Green Acres Farms sold locally grown items. Melinda Frances, from the WV Office of Child Nutrition in conjunction with Appalachian Acres Farms, provided microgreen taste testing. Students also received a “Potter the Otter’s Market Adventure” book from the Taylor County School Curriculum Department and seed packets from WV Extension.











Thank you Sharon Messenger for reading the book “Chicks in the City” by Matt Browning (Illustrated by Ashley Teets) to 6 classes at West Taylor Elementary School today as part of the Mountain Readers Become Leaders literacy initiative through West Virginia Public Broadcasting!



🍿 Tomorrow is Popcorn Thursday. Send $1 for your child to have a popcorn snack. 🍿 All proceeds benefit WTES PTO and all the fun things we do all year long.
