This week’s Kindness Certificate goes to the amazing cooks at Magnolia High School.
These wonderful ladies went above and beyond by writing special notes to each senior on their last school pepperoni roll. Such a small gesture made such a huge impact, and the students were truly touched by the kindness and love shown to them.
One student even asked if their pepperoni rolls could be mailed to them after graduation. That just shows how much these ladies mean to our students each and every day.
Thank you for not only feeding our students, but also caring for them like family.
Congratulations to Hundred Heritage student Thor Chaney on being named Youth Leader of the Year by the Wetzel-Tyler Chamber of Commerce.
Thor’s hard work, leadership, and dedication have truly made a difference, and we are so proud to see him recognized with this outstanding honor. Congratulations Thor, on this well deserved achievement — your future is bright!
Kindness makes a difference
Congratulations to Hundred Heritage student Raiellen Swiger for being awarded the Kindness Certificate! Raiellen was recognized for stepping up and helping another student when they needed it most—showing compassion, care, and what it truly means to look out for one another.
We are so proud of you, Raiellen, for making a positive impact and setting a wonderful example for others!
Big congratulations to Crislyn Cook from Short Line School for winning the contest to design the official “I Voted” sticker! She incorporated West Virginia’s state bird, the cardinal, into her beautiful artwork.
Our next Kindness Certificate is proudly awarded to Hundred Heritage student, Aldin Burley.
While visiting HHS yesterday, Mr. Snider witnessed a simple but powerful act of kindness that truly made a difference. Aldin took the time to go back upstairs to retrieve Mrs. Longwell’s laptop so she wouldn’t have to make the trip herself.
It may seem like a small gesture, but it speaks volumes about Aldin’s character—thoughtful, considerate, and always willing to lend a helping hand. These are the moments that make our school community stronger and brighter.
We are so proud of you, Aldin! Keep leading with kindness. 💙❤️

Our next Kindness Certificate goes to Coach Schmidt from Valley High School.
After a Magnolia baseball player delivered an outstanding performance while facing a recent loss in his family, Coach Schmidt showed what true compassion looks like. Following the game, he gifted the player his home run ball as a keepsake—an act that will be remembered far beyond the field.
This is what sportsmanship, empathy, and community kindness are all about. Moments like these remind us that it’s bigger than the game.
Thank you, Coach Schmidt, for leading with heart.

Today, students from Hundred Heritage and Short Line School had an incredible hands-on learning experience!
Students from both schools visited the site where the new school will be constructed and got a firsthand look at the early stages of the project. They met with Mr. Vosvick from Weller & Associates, the supervising archaeologist, who shared insights into the important work happening on-site.
Students observed excavation areas, explored different soil samples, and learned how archaeology plays a role in preparing land for construction. It was a unique opportunity to connect classroom learning with real-world experiences!
What a great day of discovery and learning!
It’s National Library Week!
Today, our youngest learners had a special visitor! Mr. Barcus, Director of Student Support Services, spent time reading to our kindergarten students and sharing his love of books. He read the fun and engaging story “The Very Impatient Caterpillar.”
After the story, students were excited to share all about their field trip from yesterday.
Moments like these remind us that reading opens the door to imagination, conversation, and lifelong learning. Keep turning those pages! 🐛🦋
Today, Mr. McPherson, Chief Personnel Officer, brought The Wolf Who Learned to Be Good to life for second grade students at Short Line School! From laughs during the story to a lively discussion after, students were fully engaged every step of the way.
After reading, Mr. McPherson talked about why reading is so important—and the students didn’t hold back with their creative and curious questions!
