🌿✨ Atrium Transformation at Bluefield Middle School! ✨🌿
Thanks to the collaborative efforts of several incredible partners, Bluefield Middle School’s atrium has been beautifully revitalized!
This project was made possible through the vision and leadership of Sherry Bradley and Candy Fulp, with strong support from Community Connections, the Mercer County Coalition, and Recovery Point, whose guidance and labor brought the project to life.
Special thanks to Josh Hodges and his talented students from MCTEC, who contributed custom-designed pieces to enhance the space.
We also appreciate the support and presence of Board of Education member Jim Bailey, Mercer County Commissioner Greg Puckett, Assistant Superintendent Rosemary Mitchell, as well as the leadership of BMS principals Kim Miller, Shannon Honaker, and Brooke Bennett.
The newly enhanced atrium is more than just a beautiful space—it’s a reflection of what’s possible when community comes together to support our schools.

🦷 BIG smiles all around for Mercer County Schools students! 🦷
We're thrilled to share some incredible statistics from the recent visits of the WV Smile Program Mobile Dentists to our schools! This program provided much-needed dental care directly to our students, and we're proud to say that ALL our schools were visited! The Smile Program went above and beyond with preventative care, even offering vital restorative procedures!
We are so grateful for this amazing partnership that brings essential dental services right to our students, helping them maintain healthy smiles and focus on their learning.
A HUGE special shout out to our incredible school nurses for facilitating these visits in your schools and working tirelessly to ensure our students receive the care they need. Your dedication makes a world of difference!
