SUCCESS...
"To be successful is
to be helpful, caring,
and constructive-
To make everything
you touch a little bit better.
The best thing you
have to give is
yourself."
Norman Vincent Peale

"I can't wait to get rid of those old 'portable' classrooms," says Scott Teays Elementary School Principal Beth Pitzer. In a few months Pitzer will get her way.
Construction crews from
G & G Builders are busy
adding on a new wing
to the growing campus,
designed to replace the
ugly, worn-out
"portables" that have been on the campus longer than each of the
school's students, making them seem permanent.
The new wing is the second major change for the campus in two years. During the 2008-2009 school year, some of the students that would have attended the overcrowded Scott Teays became part of the first student body of Mountain View Elementary. They were joined by students from West Teays.
However, further growth in Scott Depot, including the new Devonshire subdivision, will quickly fill the seats vacated by the students moving to Mountain View, making the new wing more important than ever.
For the bean-counters out there, Putnam County Assistant Superintendent of Schools Robert E. Hull reports that the West Virginia School Building Authority is funding $2,947.228 with Putnam County Schools contributing $941,777.
