We will never forget the 2016 floods and the destruction it caused, but this new school is an important milestone in our recovery and proves the resilience of West Virginians,\u201d Senator Capito said. \u201cI was also excited to bring my Girls Rise Up message\u2014with the help of Liberty\u2014to Clendenin and inspire the next generation.
