Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to our teachers!

Child Abuse Prevention Program Article and Photos: John Armstrong -- The Pleasants County Committee on Family Issues headed by Debbie Thompson was held at St. Marys Elementary school on Friday, May 1, 2026. The program was originally scheduled to be on the Courthouse steps on Thursday, April 30 but was postponed because of the rainy weather. Mrs. Thompson heads up the Pleasants County FRN (Family Resource Network) and places the Pin Wheeles that you see all around Pleasants County to remind everyone that April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. The program honors all those children who have lost their lives to abuse and draws awareness for continued efforts towards prevention. One of the highlights of the annual event is the releasing of Monarch Butterflies by the children. This year the 2nd grade teachers, their student teacher and their aides helped each student create a set of Butterfly wings to wear to the event. The kids looked awesome and the looks on their faces when they released the Butterflies was priceless!
