West Milford students had a wonderful time on their end-of-the-year field trip to Discover World on Wednesday! Students explored interactive exhibits, participated in hands-on learning experiences, and created lasting memories with their classmates. The trip was a fun and educational way to celebrate a successful school year. Thank you to the staff, chaperones, and everyone who helped make this special day possible! 🌟📚🚌

the students at Anmoore Center enjoyed their final field trip to Roger & Mazza’s Bakery! They got a behind-the-scenes look at how pepperoni rolls are made, from mixing the ingredients and preparing the dough to adding the cheese and pepperoni, baking, and packaging. The students especially enjoyed watching the pepperoni rolls spin in the ovens and sampling fresh mini pepperoni rolls. Thank you to Roger & Mazza’s Bakery for a fun and educational experience!

Another preschool zoo day fun,
Weston B was on the run!

Bears and monkeys, loud and sweet,
Goats and turtles on tiny feet.

Alligators snapping near,
Penguins waddling, oh so clear.

So many animals, what a view,
A perfect day at Hovatter Zoo!

Learning, laughing, all day through,
Preschool adventures—hip hip hooray too! 🐻🐒🐐🐢🐊🐧

West Virginia Department of Human Services today announced applications for the Emergency Low Income Energy Assistance Program (ELIEAP) will be accepted from June 8 through June 26, 2026, or until funds are exhausted.

The federally funded program assists eligible state residents in paying home heating or cooling bills. Residents whose primary heating and cooling source is gas or electricity must provide a termination notice or a past due utility bill when applying for ELIEAP. Households using other primary heating sources or bulk fuel may qualify for assistance if their heating fuel levels are critically low during the application period.

Households that received a direct payment through the regular Low Income Energy Assistance Program (LIEAP) must verify that the benefit was used for home heating expenses. Applicants must submit a current receipt equal to the amount of LIEAP assistance received along with their ELIEAP application. Failure to provide verification of payment will result in denial of the application.

Eligibility for ELIEAP is based on household income, household size, and responsibility for paying home heating or cooling costs. To qualify, households must meet all program requirements and be experiencing an energy emergency that could disrupt their primary heating or cooling source if assistance is not provided.

The income limit for Fiscal Year 2026 is 60 percent of the State Median Income. The maximum allowable gross income levels for ELIEAP Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 are listed below:

*For each additional household member, add $688. Households whose countable income exceeds the maximum allowable amount are not eligible for assistance. Certain types of income may be excluded when determining ELIEAP eligibility.

Residents must apply in person at their local DoHS office. A directory of local offices is available at dohs.wv.gov/field-offices. Applications will be processed while funding remains available.
