There’s a new scare in the air at Unioto this year. The Unioto Drama Club presents a new ghostly experience filled with spooky boo goodness. The event will open for only two weekends, October 22-23 and 29-30 from 7pm to Midnight. The haunted house was designed and scripted by the students of Unioto Drama Club with direction from Faculty Advisor, Frank Elliott. Prior to becoming a teacher, Elliott designed and built haunted house props and sets for clients nationwide as a part of his own production company. “We have a lot in store for this year’s Spooky Boo Weekends.” Said Elliott. Featured this year will be “Murdock’s Manor”, a creepy house haunted by the spirit of the late Lady Murdock and some of her less fortunate friends. Other attractions will include an escape room, carnival style games, refreshments and more. Proceeds will support future projects for the Unioto Drama Club and Choirs. Please plan to come out and support these terrific kids and prepare for some fright filled fun and fantastically fearful festivities! For more information, check out the Unioto Vocal and Theatre Website at https://felliott48.wixsite.com/mysite.

Great job coaches and players!

Friday, October 22 our district will be participating in a mock full scale district evacuation drill which will include the local law enforcement and a brief closure of Moundsville Rd during the drill. The drill takes approximately an hour to complete.
No school for students on Monday, October 18. Staff will be participating in professional development. Enjoy the extended weekend!
I think these extended weekends are just as disappointing to me as it is to our students! Relax students Tuesday will be here before you know it! Try to make the best of your extra day off from school but it is not a day off from learning. Remember, make each and every day count! As challenging as it may be to miss a Monday of school, know that you should always look for the good in all of your circumstances. They say things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out. Take a walk of gratitude on Monday. When you get up in the morning or in the afternoon just take a walk and think about anything and everything you have to be grateful for. Trust me it will brighten your day and if not your entire day at least a good part of your day. I read the other day that there is some real utility in gratitude. It’s also a good protection against the dangers of victimhood and resentment. I will say again...there is some real utility in gratitude. It is a good protection against the dangers of victimhood and resentment. With all the ugliness that seems to make it to the forefront of our media outlets, social media, and even some of our conversations it is important to stay focused being the best you can be and thankful for all of the wonderful blessings provided to us. It’s easy to get caught up in the negative, your problems, lack of fairness, and all the terrible circumstances that beset you. Remind yourself, when it is the toughest for you, that is when you need to be the toughest. You are way stronger than you think and there is way more to you than you may realize. Keep your chin up and face the challenges before you voluntarily with the confidence you can do it and if you happen to fail it is only your step closer to finding your best you.

I would like to compliment our students, families, and staff for their continued effort and diligence to minimize covid cases and quarantines.

We continue to offer masks to any student needing one. Thank you once again for keeping our students safe and in school. We can and will do this!!

I would like to commend our student section for supporting our teams and coaches by demonstrating sportsmanship consistently at our events. Furthermore, I am very appreciative of your efforts to assist with cleaning up afterwards. As I have said before, one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself is responsibility. It is a gift that keeps on giving to yourself and to others. Thank you student section for being a class act!
In my last all-call I mentioned the value in reading great books and the ability to choose your peers. It is worth repeating! Libraries are full of great books from great authors. You can enter into their perspectives, into their worlds, learn new concepts, and engage in self improvement through others by absorbing their knowledge and applying it to your life. There is real utility in reading great books. And yes, you can actually pick your peers. Pick wisely with the books you read. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of unbelievable, creative, highly perceptive and intelligent authors. You can learn from their lives and benefit from their writings and elevate yourself to a different level! Read. Read great books!
3 days til Monday!! Carry your own weather!! Hard work works!! Audit your circle!! Go Tanks!!
I wanted to inform parents we had a modified lockdown at the high school this morning and contacted law enforcement to assist with a potential safety concern. The situation has been resolved and we appreciate the responsiveness and assistance of the law enforcement. Fortunately, there was no safety issue or danger for our students or staff at any time. Thank you.
