Moments like these remind educators why they do what they do—it’s all about creating joy and unforgettable memories for the students. The excitement and pure happiness in a child’s eyes, whether it’s from spotting a mischievous Grinch or marveling at a gingerbread surprise, are truly priceless. All was calm in the office ( mostly) the. A student comes running into the office, full of urgency and excitement, shouting at the PRO, “Hurry, the Grinch is destroying everything!” is one for the books. This student drug the PRO to the class and wanted the grinch arrested!!! (Video in our story.) It’s these imaginative, magical moments that stay with children for years to come—and with the educators who help make them possible. What a heartwarming and memorable day!

Congratulations to Alyssa Kelly! She will be representing New Martinsville School at the 2024-2025 West Virginia All-State Middle School Band. She was selected from over 500 middle school students from all across the state.

Prek students enjoyed a field trip to Stalder's Family Creamery where they practiced their social skills they have learned so far, ate a nice lunch, made an ice cream Christmas ornament, learned about life on a farm, and found items you may see in a grocery store that have dairy in them. 

Today Mrs. Bennington’s class were Santa’s elves and made cars. The students had to figure out how to make the wheels move and how to make the cars move without touching them with their hands. The student figured out they could move the cars with balloons and magnets.
