It has been a long process, but the bees have returned to Thomas Jefferson High School. Approximately 2 1/2 years ago, high school Gifted Support teacher, Dan Giger, with the help of then-novice beekeepers Laurie Woodward, her husband Jason Woodward, and mentor, professional Chris Varo of Sonny Rose Ranch, started an Apiary Club. The intention of the club was, and still is, to teach interested students about bees and their intricate relationship with nature and humans.

Pleasant Hills Middle School (PHMS) students were recognized by the West Jefferson Hills School District Board during their November 16 meeting for serving as Student Council officers and their role in the school’s successful Thanksgiving Food Drive.
