WVU Children's Hospital Toy Drive
It has been a very busy time at WVU Medicine Children's Hospital and they are in need of the community to help the patients. White Hall students and staff are jumping aboard to help! Due to infection control protocols, many of the items the WVU patients use daily cannot be reused by others. This has caused a storage on stuffed animals and sensory toys. These items help support a patient's physical and emotional needs during their care at the hospital. Due to guideline, we can only accept new items. Please donate a new sensory toy or stuffed animal such as pinwheel sets, pop push fidgets toys, Play-Doh, expandable ball spheres, squishy toys, fidget spinners, stretchy strings fidget, sensory stress balls with water beads, stuffed animals or small Lego kits.
Parent-Teacher Conference days and times are announced for each of the Marion County Schools. Families should contact their child's teacher for more specific information about how to connect on the dates and times listed below.

MCS Child Nutrition Office has received word that its application as a countywide Community Eligibility Program has been approved for the 2021-22 school year. All students in MCS have the opportunity to eat breakfast and lunch at school at no cost through CEP. The CEP was enacted as a result of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act and provides universal meal service to children in high-poverty areas. What does this mean for students? If benefits become available again this year through the Pandemic EBT, ALL MCS families now qualify for these benefits. Marion County is an equal opportunity provider.
Like businesses across the nation, the MCS Child Nutrition Dept. has been experiencing some outs and shortages from our suppliers. MCS will continue to substitute products as possible from our suppliers. If we have to change menus, we work diligently to try to give plenty of notice to students and families. Updates are sent through your child’s school as necessary. We appreciate your patience, grace, and understanding.
