The Miracle League of the Ohio Valley
The Miracle League of the Ohio Valley invites your students and families of children/adults with disabilities to join us on Sunday, March 3, 2024, from 11:00 - 2:00 at the YMCA of Wheeling for The Miracle League Spring Baseball registration. The Miracle League plays an adaptive game of baseball on a rubberized field made specifically for the safety and ease of movement for those with a disability. In addition to adaptive baseball (where anything goes), The Miracle League hosts a variety of other sports, clinics, holiday programs/celebrations, arts and crafts, etc... throughout the year. As an added perk, each player and one parent/guardian will receive a pass to the YMCA at no cost. This is a GREAT program that allows those with disabilities to be accepted, play an organized sport, and just have fun! By the way, all games are two innings and end in a tie, but man, the smiles on their faces are PRICELESS!
- Questions? Please call Lorraine McCardle at 304-281-3054, or reach out to me, Brandy Lackie, at MiracleLeagueOV@gmail.com.

Valentine's Day / President's Day Acitivity
Mrs Hanna’s 6th Grade math students combined Valentine’s Day and President’s Day with a STEM Project. Students constructed replicas of presidential monuments using candy hearts and icing as building materials.
8th Grade ELA The Outsiders
Love was in the air, as 8th graders transformed into characters from The Outsiders. They wrote their “crush” a letter, using character information and dialogue from S. E. Hinton’s masterpiece. (Teens didn’t have texting in the 1960s!) Students folded their notes into hearts and passed them to their storied “crush,” hoping for a reply.
ROCKET RACER STEM PROJECT
Students in Mrs. Evick's 5th grade science classes have been working through their forces and motion unit by constructing rocket racers. Students were given the materials to build their cars and then run them in three trials to determine which car traveled the straightest and farthest. After each trial students problem-solved to make improvements to their cars and completed a NASA project packet for a grade. Newton's Laws of Motion and forces that act on objects were the learning targets for this activity.
Mrs. Clifford's Valentine's Day Math Lesson
To celebrate Valentine's Day, students were partnered up and given broken hearts that were represented by a system of equations waiting to be solved. Their task was to find the solution to each equation, symbolizing the mending of these broken hearts. Students buzzed around the room quickly solving the equation to be rewarded with heart-shaped candy. Working with their teammates made for a memorable day!
