One day each year, the first Thursday of May, has been set aside as a time that our U.S. Congress would like us to pray for our country.

Editorial: Less drastic calendar shift could still help students
Plenty of discussion has taken place in the past 15 months about the state of public education in West Virginia, sparked by an audit of the education system. Most has centered on improving student achievement, long lagging that in most other states.
