'Heritage Day' at Mercer Co. school

Posted:

ATHENS (WVVA) - Students at a local grade school explored the heritage of the Mountain State Friday.

Students at Athens Elementary celebrated Heritage Day Friday. Several local artisans visited the school to share their crafts.

The students also had the chance to listen to Appalachian stories and music.

Angie Wilson, a teacher at the school, says introducing the state's heritage to children at a young age gets them thinking about certain art skills they could use in the future.

Former State Senator Tony Whitlow also came out to read to the students.
