March has been a busy month for Communities In Schools at Widmyer. Sherrie Byrd has been hard at work facilitating engaging activities with our students, staff, families, and community. She has hosted the 4th annual Small & Tall Ball, her monthly parent Cooking Club, and celebrated students with their Legendary Mythical Pizza attendance rewards. The list of community and school support for all of this work is extraordinary. Thank you to Mythical Pizza, Widmyer PTO, Food Lion of Berkeley Springs, The Partnership, Starting Points, numerous Morgan County Board members, The WVU Extension Office, and everyone else who supported these programs.
Mrs. Waugh's and Mrs. Shives' kindergarten classes learned about the changes in the season and looked for signs of spring during a nature walk around Widmyer.
Staff were trained on Classroom at the beginning of the year with activities to use technology in the classroom. Mrs. Crawford wrote an Eastern Panhandle grant and purchased stylus pens for each student in the classroom. Recently, they began experimenting with the pens and writing their letters for UFLI, words, math problems, etc. The kids loved it. The kids have learned how to change tools, colors, erase, etc.
Mrs. Pindell’s class recently made houses and grew grass in the front yard. The students are learning what plants need to grow.
Morgan County Schools will be closed for in-person learning on Monday, March 16, 2026. We will transition to Non-Traditional Instruction, and this will be NTI Day #1. All after school and evenings activities will be canceled.
