It’s going to be a great school year at Paden City Elementary!
Our Lighthouse Leadership Team recently spent three days at Franklin Covey's Leadership Retreat. We focused on Wildly Important Goals to move our students, staff, and community forward! Our students will continue to grow their leadership skills as they grow socially and academically throughout the year!
As we begin this year as a Leader in Me , PLTW Launch, and WV PBIS Model School, we are excited for the opportunities ahead and look forward to sharing an engaging calendar of events with our Wildcat families and the Paden City community. Together, we are ready to make this a fantastic year of learning, leadership, and success!
