Meet Mrs. Betty Oliver Bess, Pinevale Class of 1967!
✨ Back in the day, she twirled her baton with style and spirit as a majorette in Pinevale High School’s Mighty Tigers marching band. She marched with the Tigers all four years under the direction of Mr. Carter Douglas Marshall.
One of her drum majors is the legendary Leon Henderson, and her fellow drum majorette is the fabulous Barbara Taylor Strickland, both are still proudly carrying the Tiger spirit today! 💛🖤
Today, Mrs. Bess still brings that same Pinevale Tiger pride to our halls as a Foster Grandparent with AmeriCorps Seniors! 🙌 Alongside other amazing foster grandparents, she helps and supports our teachers and students every single day.
We are beyond honored to have Mrs. Bess (and all our Foster Grandparents) as part of the Pinevale family.
Once a Tiger, always a Tiger! 🐯💛🖤 #PinevalePride #TigerForever #AmeriCorpsSeniors #FosterGrandparentsRockp

It didn't take us long to find a Cat Caught Reading! 🔍🐾
Dr. Lockhart has been making his rounds across the district — and this week, he took time to share a story with one of our elementary classes. His commitment to literacy is clear, because when our students see leaders who read, they belieVe they can too. #BelieVeInTheV 📚
