Jefferson High School has lost its number-one fan, and our school will never be the same. I know I speak for our entire community when I say that we are heartbroken by the passing of Sara Lueck. She dedicated her life to educating and encouraging kids and inspired generations of students in our county. Her legacy will live on forever, not only at J-High, but in the hearts of all who knew her. Please join us to celebrate her life with a candlelight vigil next Friday night, April 21. We invite the entire community to gather in front of the Sara Lueck Media Center at Jefferson High School beginning at 7:30 to remember and honor this incredible educator and friend. Cards may be sent to JHS Lueck Family at 4141 Flowing Springs Rd. Shenandoah Junction, WV 25442.
