Opequon Snowman is on display downtown
Our Opequon Snowman is on display in downtown Martinsburg! Take a drive or a walk through town to check out all of the snowmen that have been decorated by many Berkeley County Schools. Our vision of "Dream it, Believe it, Achieve it" and Opequon Blue Monarch were our inspiration... plus a little sparkle because we all shine in some way!

All Kindergarten & 1st Grade students are invited to perform in our Winter Concert on Tuesday, Jan. 13 @ North Middle School. Students are to arrive 15 minutes before their performance time- dressed in their holiday best. They've been practicing very hard during music throughout the past few months in order to put on a great show for you! Invite your family and friends (parking is limited, but carpooling is great!) We look forward to seeing you there!
