Please help with this year's pumpkin drop. We are in dire need of boxes large enough to hold a medium size pumpkin. There is a need for 55 boxes of this size. At this point, I only have one box that is big enough. Smaller boxes are also needed. This project is focused on ways to reuse materials to help save the environment. Also, students are developing engineering skills. Winning teams go to WVU to participate in their annual competition. In the past two years we have finished in the top three out of about 300 schools. Boxes – They should at least be large enough to hold a pumpkin with space to add cushioning. Smaller boxes are still useful. We are also requesting the following items. Pool Noodles Pillows Tarp Bubble Wrap Empty Water Bottles Sheets Styrofofoam Boxes Duct Tape or Packing Tape Hay / Straw Trash Bags Blankets Memory Foam Cotton Balls Marshmallows Styrofoam Box- See box sizes above. Towels Balloons Shower Curtains Socks Restrictions - The following items cannot be used.

Morgan County Schools were made aware of a threat made via social media involving Berkeley Springs High School. We immediately began working with our local law enforcement and their FBI partners to establish the credibility of this threat and take all necessary precautions. Parents/guardians of students that were mentioned in the threat have been notified directly. At this time, there is no credible threat to student safety. Any threats will be evaluated by local law enforcement and school officials, and all appropriate disciplinary measures will be taken. Please always remember if you see something, say something. Safety is a team effort.
