Your week-at-a-glance!

🌍 Geographical adventures in the Potomac Highlands. 🏞️ Mr. Yocum and Mrs. Lora Chapman took Mr. Yocum's Geography Class on an adventure to the beautiful mountains of Tucker, Randolph, and Pendleton Counties this Friday, October 18, 2024. Students experienced the majestic scenes of Black Waterfalls, Spruce Knob, and the dramatic grandeur of Seneca Rocks. Our young scholars were also able to observe the beautiful colors of the Autumn leaves that our great state of West Virginia has to offer while immersing themselves in a real-world study of Geography. After a long day of hiking and exploring, the group stopped for a sweet treat at The Donut Spot. #gogilmer #GeographyAdventures

Our Juniors and Seniors had a productive day at the Health Careers and College Expo in Salem, WV. Students engaged with various schools and agencies to explore opportunities in the healthcare field.

🥩 We’re proud to highlight the impressive work of Mr. Cox's animal processing class! They rolled up their sleeves to clean and cut porterhouses and T-bones, creating tender fillets and New York strip steaks. 🥩✨ To top it off, the carcass was aged for 21 days at the customer's request, boosting the flavor and quality of the final product. What a fantastic hands-on experience! 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳 #FarmToTable #MeatProcessing #GoGilmer
