Tessa Hutchens, from Beckley, left, speaks to her mentor, Amy Thomas, from Oak Hill, during the Gambling Grant Graduation Grant at the Greater New Jerusalem Holliness Temple in Glen White on Thursday. The program, which was faith-based, paired high school age children with adults in their community to learn essential research skills. "The kids - all of the students - with a little bit encouragement are going to take off in leaps and bounds," said Thomas, who co-authored the grant with FMRS. (Chris Jackson/The Register-Herald)
