A heartfelt thank you goes out to County Clerk Jody Davis and Election Clerk Ryan McFarland for their invaluable support and partnership in making this event possible.

💙🏈💛 Pep Rally Hype! 💛🏈💙
St. Marys High School came together today for a spirited pep rally to get ready for the Battle of the Bridge against Frontier High School! The Blue Devils are fired up and ready to bring the energy to tonight’s game.
This year’s rivalry game is extra special — fans can show their support in the fight against cancer. Donations will be collected tonight from Benny the Blue Devil or the Frontier Cougar, with proceeds going to help families facing this battle.
Blue Devil fans: your donations will directly support Dave St. Peter and his family as he continues his courageous fight against cancer. Let’s rally together as a community, cheer on our team, and make a difference both on and off the field. 💪💙

PCS Recognizes School Service Personnel Day! Thank you to our hardworking service personnel who serve the children of Pleasants County.
As part of Sandy Hook’s Start with Hello Week, SMHS art classes created uplifting and encouraging notes to spread positivity throughout the school. Students shared heartfelt messages—like “You are loved” and “There is someone in every crowd that will be happy to see you”—to remind their classmates that kindness, connection, and support are always here.
These simple but powerful notes are now displayed in restrooms as well as the locker room. The goal of these messages is to brighten someone’s day and remind us of all that small acts of kindness make a big difference. 🌟
