April is Autism Awareness Month. April 2nd is Autism Awareness Day – a special occasion to raise awareness about autism, promote inclusivity, and celebrate the unique and valuable contributions of individuals with autism. This day invites us to think about creating a world where everyone, no matter how they think or interact, feels seen, valued, and understood.
Together, we can help dismantle the barriers that often prevent acceptance and inclusion. Let's work together to ensure no one feels isolated or misunderstood because of their neurodiversity. We can build a stronger, more compassionate world by embracing our differences. Let’s all commit to promoting kindness, acceptance, and inclusion today and every day by wearing blue on April 2nd. 💙💙

Today, Wetzel County Young Writers winners were honored at a reception at Quinet's Restaurant. The winners and two guests were invited to celebrate their outstanding writing accomplishments.
Retired teacher and author Brian Croasmun encouraged the young authors to find inspiration in unexpected sources. He advised them to keep a notebook to record ideas and wait for opportunities to use them in their writing. Students also received resources to help them advance their writing skills.
First-place winners will attend the Young Writers Day at the University of Charleston on Friday, May 2. They will participate in writing workshops, meet West Virginia authors, review their published works, and receive autographs. An awards ceremony will be held in the afternoon. A special thank you is extended to the teachers, board members, and county office staff who joined parents and students in celebrating this achievement. Congratulations!
