There’s a sun peeping out of the clouds and nature is calling at Blackshere today as 1st grade students in Ms. Petry's class made bird feed ornaments. They are hanging them in our trees on campus to feed the birds.

Did you catch some stars last night? The East Fairmont Middle School and East Fairmont High School choirs sure did shine!

White Hall’s kindergarteners got to be Santa’s elves this afternoon all while giving back to others. They built birdhouses, decorated ornaments, and worked on various other crafts. They plan on hand delivering everything to over 100 nursing home residents.

One of the many shining stars in Marion County Schools are among the Fairmont Senior Madrigals, and this time of year is extra special to showcase those talents.
