Our Hornets are picking up right where they left off during ESY and Summer Boost! Students at Hundred Heritage are continuing to build important foundational skills by practicing their letters, shapes, colors, and math. It’s wonderful to see their hard work, determination, and enthusiasm for learning continue throughout the summer.

Students at Paden City Elementary are practicing their shapes, colors, and counting while working together and encouraging one another.

Summer Boost at New Martinsville School! Our upcoming first graders have been hard at work during Summer Boost! Students practiced identifying and ordering upper- and lowercase letters, as well as numbers 0–9 in both ascending and descending order. They also enjoyed reading The Sandwich Swap, where they discussed vocabulary, cause and effect, and the consequences of our actions. Learning is even more fun when it includes great conversations and opportunities to grow together!

Attention Students, Parents, and Guardians:

Attached is an updated flyer regarding the WVSSAC Athletic Transfer Rule. Please take a few moments to review the information, especially if your student participates in athletics or may be affected by a school transfer.

If you have any questions, please contact your school administration or athletic department for additional information.

Students at Hundred Heritage are making the most of their summer learning! During ESY and Summer Boost, students have been hard at work strengthening their math skills while also exploring their creativity in the Makerspace. Through hands-on activities, problem-solving, and imaginative projects, they are building confidence, learning new skills, and having fun along the way!

Students at Hundred Heritage are having a fun and engaging ESY experience! They have been sharpening their math skills by counting money while also using their curiosity and critical thinking skills to investigate the legend of Bigfoot. Learning comes alive when students can explore, discover, and have fun at the same time!

Summer is the perfect time to relax, explore, and discover new adventures through reading! Make sure you keep reading throughout the summer. Whether it’s a favorite series, a new author, or a book about something you’re curious about, reading helps keep your mind active and growing. Our local libraries have an excellent selection of books for readers of all ages. Stop by, check out a few books, and make reading part of your summer fun!

Join me, Mr. Snider, tomorrow from 6:00–8:00 PM at Stalder Family Creamery for a great community cause! I’ll be serving up smiles (and ice cream!) as part of the United Way Celebrity Scoopers event. All tips received during the event will benefit United Way of the Upper Ohio Valley and the important work they do throughout our communities. Come out, enjoy some delicious ice cream, support a wonderful organization, and let us serve you for the evening. I hope to see you there! #UnitedWay #CommunityStrong #CelebrityScoopers #StalderFamilyCreamery #WetzelCounty

What an exciting day at the Wetzel County Technical Education Center! Today marked the very first Coyote Camp for our 4th and 5th grade students, and it was a huge success! Students spent the day building teamwork, strengthening problem-solving skills, making new friends, and having lots of fun along the way. From hands-on activities to working together as a team, these future Coyotes showed great leadership and creativity! Of course, no great day is complete without a few sweet treats to celebrate all their hard work! We are so proud of these students and can’t wait to see Coyote Camp continue to grow! #CoyoteCamp #WetzelCountySchools #Teamwork #FutureLeaders
