Washington Irving and Mountaineer Middle Schools battled today in their annual Breast Cancer Awareness Game!
Students in Mrs. Vicki Elam's Reading class at Washington Irving Middle School participated in a mock trial based on the short story by Edgar Allan Poe titled The Tell-Tale Heart.
Some students came dressed as their assigned character. Jackson Walls was assigned the role of the Defense Attorney, while Maddie Dunavant portrayed the Deputy. The students enjoyed the activity and asked to do something like this again.

↘️A Message from Healthy Grandfamilies ↙️
Ladies and Gentlemen,
After much checking around and discussion, we have decided to postpone the live Healthy Grandfamily Sessions until March.
Grandfamilies are helping their grandchildren adjust to being back in school, some are concerned about gathering due to the upswing in COVID cases and some have some other conflicts at this time.
We will continue to meet the information and training needs of the Grandfamilies by phone calls, face to face socially distanced home visits and the Grandparents as Parents Support Group.
In January, we will start recruiting and planning for our Sessions to begin in March.
All sporting event ticket prices this year for middle school events are $6.00.
School cash online is available at https://hcschools.schoolcashonline.com and click on “Register”
