October is National School Safety Month when schools across the nation unite to promote the safety and mental well-being of students in their districts. Because of the collaborative efforts by school administrators in the National Association of Secondary School Principals, more resources and alliances are available more than ever. West Liberty-Salem High School principal Greg Johnson, co-facilitator of the NASSP's Principal Recovery Network, alongside colleague Greg Waples, recently contributed a blog post on safety at Friday night football games and after school events. The article linked below provides guidance and best practices that help keep students, families, and the community safe at publicly accessible events. Mr. Johnson emphasizes that parents and students play a vital role in maintaining safety at after-school events and that the common phrase, "see something, say something" is just as applicable for outside of school events as it is for school safety during the school day. Both Greg Johnson and Middle School Principal Andy McGill are founding members of the NASSP Principal Recovery Network.

Our Physical Education classes are practicing similar themes this week but using age and size appropriate methods! In middle school, Mr. Louden’s students are learning to play badminton, while in elementary, Mrs. Hollar is teaching the same concept of getting a ball over the net. She created “nets” that can be adjusted for student’s height and strength to learn the basics. They are all having fun!

Students are visiting the library and checking out books each week! We have a new selection of books this year, and students are excited to check them out. Many of our older elementary classes have established their goals and researched book genres which helps them know what type of books to search for. Our younger elementary students enjoy story time filled with Mrs. Perdue's animated voiceovers, and of course, lots of giggles!
