On the last day of school Blennerhassett Middle School had a lot to celebrate.

At the school's annual Olympics event Home Depot presented the school with a $4,000 check.

Student council came up with the idea to re-landscape and clean up the atrium when the school switched from a junior high school to a middle school.

Home Depot donated resources and partnered with the school and other volunteers back in October. They landscaped the front entrance to the school and started cleaning up the atrium.

The corporate office awarded the school as the regional winner and eighth place in the nation for "Team Depot" projects.

Alexis Wilson, 8th grade student council president, said "I was really excited about trying to change the school with it changing to a middle school and everything so I decided we needed to clean up the atrium."

Brittan Posey, a seventh grader at the school, created a public service announcement titled "Reduse, Reuse, and Recycle." The PSA won second place in his grade level across the state. The West Virginia Center for Professional Development sponsors the contest.

Along with the award the center gave the school $250 to go towards technology. Posey's teacher used some of the money to award the seventh grader with a 30 minute flip video camcorder so he can continue to make movies.

"From the first nine weeks we had this exploratory class and we had to make a movie and my teacher Mr. Parks sent it in and it won second place!" said Posey.
