Former West Virginia University football standout Wes Lyons had a busy day today speaking with students of Ohio County Schools. As part of his Pursuit program, Lyons visited Bridge Street Middle School and Triadelphia Middle School on Friday. Over the last seven years, more than 100,000 students have been impacted by the program. The program’s mission is to enhance the student's educational experience, while preparing them for academic success by developing their decision-making skills, improving their writing and communication skills and keeping them engaged and invested in learning. The Pursuit program exposes students to life skills (managing finances, networking, goal setting, decision-making and more…), while giving students the opportunity to change the negative cycle that may be impeding their success, regardless of their background or current situation. #TogetherWeAchieve
