Using Elections As A Teaching Tool And Our Song Of The Week, This West Virginia Morning

On this West Virginia Morning, presidential elections tend to garner the most attention, and that added excitement provides a unique opportunity to engage students in the classroom with real-world events.

And from this week’s premiere broadcast of Mountain Stage, our Song of the Week comes from Kyshona, a songwriter and powerful vocalist who lends her voice to those who have been silenced and feel forgotten and alone. In this live performance of “Carolina” from her 2024 album LEGACY.
