Gilmer SummerBoost had special guests join us on Thursday, June 22nd during the morning academic rotations.
These were folks from the National office of Save the Children and the WV state office of Save the Children. They were very pleased with the "fabulous" work that they saw in the SummerBoost program. While visiting, they also discussed other Save the Children programs in Gilmer County, including Early Steps, KinderBoost, Afterschool and the Mobile Feeding Unit. We were really excited and proud to receive national attention on the great work our staff and students are doing in Gilmer County.
