Lean In Girls is a leadership program designed to help girls see themselves as leaders in a world that too often tells them otherwise — it’s all about GIRL POWER! 💪
Throughout the program, the group met weekly to build confidence, strengthen leadership skills, put their values into action, and step outside their comfort zones. To wrap up the program, each student selected an influential woman who made a difference and presented what they learned to an audience.
A special thank you to Dr. Minney, Traci DeWall, Kelly Barr, Cherri West, and Mischell Workman for serving as the audience and supporting these students during their presentations! #gogilmer #lovemywvschool










Students recently had the opportunity to learn about the Civil War with a special focus on artillery from Clayton Barker. A lifelong Civil War enthusiast, Clayton has studied the subject since elementary school, earned a degree in Civil War History from Shepherd University, and has served as a living historian for more than 20 years.
He brought in a variety of artifacts, books, equipment, and period clothing to give students a unique hands-on learning experience and bring history to life in the classroom!

Thank you for helping students start the school year ready to learn!
