❤️🏈💙 Our Bobcats sported their blue today at school for the big game.
Mrs.McDonald and Mr. Blanc’s 4th grade classes had a fun lesson on Idioms this week! They learned that an idiom is a word expression in which the meaning is figurative, not literal. For example: The game had me on pins and needles…..just means I was anxious about the game, not that I was literally on pins and needles.These classes were given an assignment to choose their favorite idiom and they had to dress up like or act it out.They did an awesome job with this assignment and had a great time with it too.Even our teachers and administrators got involved! Here were just a few from the day.See if you can guess what each one is.

Wood County Schools is again offering a damage waiver program for student iPads. The program allows families to pay an upfront fee at the beginning of the school year which reduces the cost of repair and replacement of the iPad of those enrolled. Families can buy in one student for $30 or pay $60 for a family plan, which includes 2 or more students. If a family paid for the damage waiver last year and did NOT have a claim, that payment is rolled over into this year and the family is automatically enrolled again. If a family paid for the damage waiver last year and DID have a claim, they can buy back in to the program by filling out and paying for a new damage waiver. The program does require a student ID number. Contact your child’s school if you do not know their student ID number. Visit our payment portal to purchase. https://woodcountyschoolswv.com/payment

Wood County Schools will be canceling TREK this week due to staffing issues. Therefore, buses will not transport students that attend Franklin Elementary for TREK grades 3-5. Franklin Elementary students will report as normal. We apologize for this inconvenience and look forward to resuming TREK next week. Have a great evening!
Wood County Schools' internet provider has a fiber line down between Charleston and Parkersburg. Their crews are on site and there is no ETA on when the line will be repaired. With that being said, there is a possibility that the internet may be out tomorrow at all WCS locations if the line is not repaired in time. Details will be shared as soon as we get them.

Blennerhassett Elementary Track had two of our three championship teams recognized in the paper today. Our Girls team for winning the girls overall championship and our 9/10 girls for winning their age group championship. The entire team championship should be recognized in the paper soon. Considering it is a picture with 52 kids, they may need time to find enough space for it! So proud of how hard these kids fought all season with a goal to win it all!!! Mission accomplished!!! According to the trophies in the case at school, we won the grand championship in 1979, 1987, 1989, 1992, and now in 2022… first time in 30 years!!!
