The WVSSAC and its family is saddened by the passing of former Assistant Executive Director, Butch Powell. Butch was a champion of education based athletics & will be greatly missed. Please keep his wife Janet & his family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
🎉🎉 This week we're proud to recognize #BerkCoSchoolsWV counselors as part of National School Counseling Week!
Thank you to each counselor helping students examine their abilities, interests and talents, and enhancing students' social/personal, and educational development.
I created a video for a student just to tell her how amazing she is & how proud I am of her. She texted me & told me my video is the first thing she watches every morning. Colleagues - we can lift these kids up. Encourage them. We can tell them how amazing they are! #TheyNeedUs
It's important we all continue to learn about COVID-19 and how we're managing cases in our community.

🍎South Berkeley Community- Please take a few minutes and complete this important survey.
▪️This is essential for preparing instruction for September.
▪️You will need to fill it out for every student attending school in Berkeley County.
At the time of this tweet, no video conferencing platform translates live subtitles. I like this solution if you're meeting virtually with ESL families. PPT live subtitles + virtual meeting = 👍 @bapowell93 @EmAre459 @AmstevenM@sdove91
To lead with GRACE means to lead with gratitude and with courage. It means to lead with forgiveness and to lead in the service of others. It means to lead with authenticity and with a combination of confidence and humility. A trait more people need to exhibit in this day and age.
