1. I hope everyone had a good weekend. It looks like cold weather so if school is closed Tuesday, mid-terms will be moved to Wednesday.

2. As soon as I get information that can be shared about the county situation, I will share.

3. Congratulations to the Swim & Wrestling teams for their performances in their OVAC tournament.

Congratulations to Hadassah Gray, Lili Hughes and Kaylee Culbreth on their performance with the Northern Region I Bandmasters Honor Band on Saturday. Students from Wetzel, Tyler, Marshall, Ohio, Brooke and Hancock counties auditioned for membership in the band. With less than 7 hours of rehearsal, they successfully performed a challenging concert at Wheeling Park High School under the direction of Dr. Scott Tobias, Director of Bands at WVU.

"Play does seem to open up another part of the mind that is always there, but that, since childhood, may have become closed off and hard to reach. When we treat children's play as seriously as it deserves, we are helping them feel the joy that's to be found in the creative spirit. We're helping ourselves stay in touch with that spirit, too. It's the things we play with and the people who help us play that make a great difference in our lives."
