Our PTO has worked extensively to redesign the
library for our students. Vicky Samples (former
Clendenin Librarian) and her husband Tom Samples have spent many days and hours preparing,
cleaning, organizing, categorizing, labeling, and
shelving all the books. We are very excited for
our students and so appreciative and grateful to
our PTO and Vicky and Tom! The library is
themed to go along with the schools Innovation
Zone community schools grant. There was A
LOT of love, time, and dedication put into redesigning and preparing the library for our students.
We want to graciously thank our outstanding volunteers: Tom and Vicky Samples, David and Angie Morris, Rick and Jessica Paxton, Dale and
Melonie Dolin, David and Tanya Smith, Tina
Hall and Alice Bowe for all their hard work and dedication to our school!
Hello Readers,
It’s that time of the year where everyone will be running around like crazy trying to
get shopping, cooking, house cleaned for guests, and so on. We all will be stressed to
the limits and short tempered. Just remember what the seasons are for, to give thanks
and celebrate the birth of Jesus. When you are stressed you tend to snap at your
spouse, kids, friends, and even strangers. When you are ready to lose your temper try
to stop and remember what the Holidays are for and realize the ones you are about
ready to bite their head off is as, or more stressed as you are. Holidays are for families, but sometimes that might not be possible for reasons such as distances, differences, work, or other reasons. Make the most of the ones around you and enjoy each
day, because you never know if this might be your last holiday with the ones you
love. Also remember the less fortunate or the ones that have no family and take a few
minutes and drop them off a plate of goodies or spend a few minutes with them. The
littlest thing that might not seem much to us might mean the world to someone else.
Until the next issue…Keep Smiling! Sug

has
arrived early

and
it
could be a
very interesting 3 or 4 months. The salt that The Town
of Clendenin ordered and was told that we might not
get has been delivered and is now stored in the new salt
shed and ready for use. We are still looking for someone who would like to earn some money this winter
that has a small truck or ATV with a blade and insured
to help with snow removal this winter. The Street Department will be installing the “Salt Spreader” in the
Dump Truck this week and will make sure that it is in
working order. Deer Gun Season will be opening next
week and I hope the hunters have a safe and enjoyable
season. There are still a few tables available for the

The Thanksgiving Snowstorm
I remembered a Thanksgiving that to this day I smile and thank the heavens for my guardian angels; It
looked like it was going to be a bad winter this year. Here it was a few days before Thanksgiving and
the snow was pouring down with inches accumulating quickly. I had pulled a double shift at the diner
where I was a waitress for the extra money and the walk home a few blocks from my house was a
beautiful scene with large snowflakes floating down in the night lights like angels. The fresh air
cleared my head. It was going to be rough this year for the holidays. I was a single mom with two
small kids to take care of. The pay at the diner kept food and roof over our heads, but that was about it.
I was hoping to make enough in tips the past few days to buy a turkey and trimmings for a Thanksgiving dinner, but with the snow all our normal customers and travelers were staying home and not venturing out to the diner. I arrived home to two jubilant children. An elderly neighbor, Mrs. Ariel had
taken them and me under her motherly wings and offered to watch them while I worked at no charge.
She was great with them and they loved her dearly, I was blessed to have such a wonderful neighbor.
As soon as I shut the door my seven year old son looked at me with those beautiful brown eyes and
asked, “Did you get a turkey?” I choked back tears and told him we still had another day and I was
picking it up tomorrow on my way home from work, but for now we better get him tucked in since his
little sister was already sound asleep in her bunk bed in the room they shared. I raced him to his room
pretending to trip so he could beat me to his bunk bed thanking how lucky I were of having two children I loved more than life. After getting him all tucked in and setting on the side of his bed rubbing
his head until he fell asleep I quietly left their room and went to the kitchen and fixed me a cup of tea
and counted my tips. It was such a slow night, but with luck tomorrow I could get enough to buy the
turkey and the trimmings for a Thanksgiving meal. The next day I left for work with high hopes of
making some good tips and on my break going to the grocery store to get a turkey. I got to work and
within the hour the skies opened up and the snow started again. My heart sank. I had to get enough to
buy that turkey or my son would be so disappointed. After a couple hours and only one customer my
boss said we were closing early. I almost started to cry when I heard the bell above the door ding. I
looked back to see an elderly couple come in and my boss shrugged his shoulders and said looks as if
we might have to wait a bit longer. The bell dinged again and two road crew guys that were running
the salt plow came in and asked if we had fresh coffee. As I took care of the elderly couple my boss
took care of the road crew. I took their order and they were two of the sweetest people with their smile
and the way they looked at each other. They asked me if I had plans for Thanksgiving and I told them
of my sweet kids I had at home. I didn’t let them know how I wanted to make enough to buy a turkey
and was watching the clock to get to the grocery store to buy one. We chatted while their food was getting ready and I left them alone while they ate their meal. I took a bathroom break and when I came
back the elderly couple was going out the door and smiled and waved as they were leaving. I went to
clean their table and saw they had left what looked like five or six dollars. I was glad because that
would be enough with what I had to get the turkey for dinner. My boss came out and said it was time
to close and I was glad. I was rushing to clean and sweep and my boss said to leave he would take care
of it and I needed to go buy a turkey. I was rushing in the store grabbing the turkey and thought I better
see exactly how much I had so I know what we would have to do without. I reached in my pocket and
pulled out the dollar bills the elderly couple had left and I saw a piece of paper folded among the dollar
bills. I unfolded the paper and I started crying as I read the note. The note read; every year we choose
to help a waitress this time of year and with the snow this diner was the one we picked because the
snow kept us from going farther. I once was a waitress and someone helped me like this and I want to
return the favor. I looked down and there was two- one hundred dollar bills folded among the ones’! I
started crying and couldn’t stop. It felt like the biggest weight had been lifted off my shoulders. An announcement came over the intercom announcing the store was closing early because of the snow
storm. I rushed to get everything and grabbed ice cream, chips, juices, and other items that normally I
couldn’t buy. I paid for the groceries for the first time in years without worrying I wouldn’t have
enough to pay for the groceries. I knew the clerks at the store and they always allowed me to take a
shopping cart home when needed. I was pushing the cart home with it the fullest it had ever been and
didn’t even feel the cold snow hitting my face. This was the happiest I had been in a long time. I saw
the curtains moving when I got near the front door and it opened as I was coming up the stairs with
two little ones smiling ear-to-ear! My son was shouting, “You got it, you got the turkey!” I grabbed my
two kids and hugged them to me knowing right then I was the luckiest person in the world right then to
have them. The next day we had one of the best dinners I could ever have hoped for with my neighbor,
Mrs. Ariel joining us for the feast thanks to my two guardian angels.

HE White Elementary school recently received an Innovation Zone Grant from
the West Virginia Department of Education to join many schools across the
nation to become a Community school. This is an amazing opportunity for HE
White students, staff, parents and the entire Bomont community! Grant writers Amanda Shelton, Brittany McGowan and April Kearns - along with a grant
steering committee of community members and school staff - identified and
prioritized the needs of the school and community and developed a strategic
action plan that will move the community and school forward. Community
schools offer a personalized curriculum that emphasizes real-world learning
and community problem-solving. Schools become centers of the community
and are open to everyone – all day, every day, evenings and weekends. Together with their partners, community schools are helping more students be
ready to learn when they start school, improving the skills and attitudes students need to learn, improving student academic outcomes and helping students graduate ready for college and careers. Community schools are making
a difference in the lives of children, youth and families across the country.
Community schools are partnerships between educators and community partners-including community based organizations, local government, institutions
of higher education, United Ways, unions, school districts and others. It is a
community-based effort to coordinate and integrate educational, developmental, family, health, and other comprehensive services through communitybased organizations, and public /private partnerships. Several organizations,
businesses and individuals became community partners with HE White Elementary to focus on early intervention, student achievement, adult literacy, and
wellness which will lead to improved student learning, stronger families, and a
healthier community. We envision that our intense focus in these four areas
will alter the educational culture and community mentality to one that emphasizes the significance of learning, not only at school, but at home and in the
community, as well. This grant gives our school the opportunity to be innovative and unique because it is solution-driven, multi-faceted, collaborative, and
proactive which will lay the groundwork to optimize chances for graduation
and college readiness. We are very excited about all the opportunities this
grant provides for our students, staff and community. According to the Coalition for Community Schools, the community schools strategy provides a coherent framework for all children to succeed in college, career and life. In today’s test-oriented school culture, an effective community school offers the
opportunities that all children deserve and helps remove barriers to learning; it
ensures a foundation for principals to lead, teachers to teach and students to
learn. We need community schools because research and experience tell us
that young people need a wide range of opportunities and supports to succeed.
All children regardless of their economic, racial or family circumstances deserve access to the array of opportunities that more well off families provide to
their children. Schools must re-engage the broader public and community
schools are the place where this can happen. The heart and soul of our community school will be our community school garden. Research shows that
schools that use school gardens and environment based learning have higher
scores on standardized testing in areas of reading, writing, math, science, and
social studies. The study also found that student gardeners are more engaged
and enthusiastic about learning, show greater pride in their accomplishments,
and have fewer attention and discipline problems. We are so excited about all
the opportunities available to our students, staff, parents and community. We
are in the beginning stages of planning and launching our Community school
which will address our four targets of early intervention, adult literacy, student
achievement, and community wellness.

A couple who had been happily married for years
had only one friction in their marriage was the husband’s habit of farting loudly every morning when
he awoke the noise would wake his wife and the
smell would make her eyes water and make her
gasp for air. Every morning she would plead with
him to stop ripping them off because it was making her sick. He told
her he couldn't stop it and that it was perfectly natural. She told him to
see a doctor, she was concerned that one day he would blow his guts
out. The years went by and he continued to rip them out. Then one
Christmas day morning, as she was preparing the turkey for dinner and
he was upstairs sound asleep, she looked at the innards, neck, gizzard,
liver and all the spare parts, and a malicious thought came to her. She
took the bowl and went upstairs where her husband was sound asleep
and, gently pulling the bed covers back, she pulled back the elastic
waistband of his underpants and emptied the bowl of turkey guts into
his shorts. Sometime later she heard her husband waken with his usual
trumpeting which was followed by a blood curdling scream and the
sound of frantic footsteps as he ran into the bath room. The wife could
hardly control herself as she rolled on the floor laughing, tears in her
eyes! After years of torture she reckoned she had got him back pretty
good. About twenty minutes later, her husband came downstairs in his
blood stained underpants with a look of horror on his face. She bit her
lip as she asked him what was the matter. He said, “Honey you were
right… all these years you have warned me and I didn't listen to you.”
“What do you mean?” asked his wife. “Well, you always told me that
one day I would end up farting my guts out, and today it finally happened, but by the grace of god, some Vaseline and two fingers. I think I
got most of them back in.
