New Year, New Director
KCSCEP is starting out the New Year with a new director. Terry Sauvageot, principal of
Kenna Elementary, was named the Director of the Community Education Program at the December
Board of Education meeting and will start in the new position in February.
Sauvageot is replacing former director, Clara Jett, who announced her
retirement at the end of October. Jett has had a distinguished career
with Kanawha County Schools. Over the course of 46 years she has
been a teacher, vice principal, and principal. She then moved into the
administrative area as the Director of Pre-K, and then came to the William J. Raglin Community Education Center in 2012 as the Director of
Community Education.
“Clara is one of those people who is well known and well loved
throughout the school system by parents, former students and school
employees from all areas of the county. You can’t go anywhere with
her that she doesn’t know someone,” said Jennifer Mathis, KCSCEP
Program Manager. “She will certainly be missed, but we are happy for
her and we look forward to working with our new director, who is also
a very experienced KCS professional.”
Sauvageot has had an equally distinguished career. She has been in
education for 31 years, 21 of which were spent as a principal. Before
coming to Kanawha County Schools, her first year of teaching was in
Fayette County at Mt. Hope Middle School. She has worked at many
schools throughout Kanawha County, including Cedar Grove, Spring Hill Elementary, Ruffner,
Bridgeview, Bridge, Ruthlawn, Richmond and Kenna. She was named the National Distinguished
Principal for West Virginia for 2014 by the National Association of Elementary School Principals.
Her love for students and their families are the driving force in her quest for excellence in education.
Terry Sauvageot is the new
Director for KCS Community
Education.
“It has always been my mantra that kids come first,” Sauvageot said. “Everything else is secondary. It is a joy to work with kids and it is a joy to work with their families -- to meet and work with
people from different backgrounds. I love diversity.” Sauvageot says she is looking forward to working
with everyone in the Community Education programs.
“I am going to be doing a lot of listening and learning about how our Third Base, On Deck
and day care programs serve the community,” she said. “My door is always open to suggestions.”
Sauvageot’s husband, Michael, is the engineering teacher and a former football coach at
South Charleston High School, and they have two daughters. Elizabeth is a NICU nurse at Vanderbilt
Children’s Hospital in Nashville and Emily is a senior in Speech Pathology at Marshall University.
The family also includes a “fur baby”, Callie, who is an English Pointer.

Ruthlawn Third Base Students Give Back
Giving back — Ruthlawn Third Base students learned about
community service by conducting a food drive for two local
church food pantries. Thank you to all the students and their
families who participated in the drive.
In November 2015,
Ruthlawn Third Base students had a food drive to
help pantries at two local
churches, Davis Creek
Church of the Nazarene
and Ruth Community
Church. The students in the
program had a friendly
competition of girls versus
boys to see who could bring
in the most food items. The
girls won bragging rights,
but everyone came out a
winner because nearly
1600 food items were collected. The food drive the
previous year brought in
870 items, so the donations
were nearly doubled this
year.
