Mr. Palmer has two students from the OVCTC Automotive Technology program busy on early placement at Barry’s Chevrolet and Buick. The students are working with professionals and learning the Automotive Technicians trade, no virtual training for them since all the work is hands on! Thank you for giving Remy Mcnown & Jonah Porterfield a chance in the real world!!
Due to poor road conditions, mainly on our side roads, the Adams County Ohio Valley School District will be closed today, December 1st, 2020. Staff does not report and there will be no virtual classes today.

Thank you to Lu Ann Daniels and family (LAD Farms) for working with the OVCTC Ag Business Program on some nice replacement Boer does for the farm. The junior class was involved with worming and loading and unloading. They have been a pleasant addition to the farm and the students look forward to some high quality offspring from these ladies in the future!
The students in Mrs. Davis’ Cosmetology Program at the OVCTC had a Halloween themed hair and makeup contest with their mannequin heads. Students voted on their favorite creations. Congratulations to:
Chelsey Conley - 1st place
Jade Wolke - 2nd place
Nick Staggs - 3rd place
Congratulations to the following 4 OVCTC American FFA Degree recipients: Dalton Black, Jaycee Baldwin, Collin Hesler, and Zach Drummond!
The OVCTC Ag Business students have been working hard again to wrap up the hay season. On top of this, they have hauled several loads of manure and are getting pens ready for our new arrival of Boer does. They also had the experience of bringing some “old school” plowing back to get some hay seeding done for a local farmer. Watch our video clip to see how it works! Grain harvest will be underway as soon as it dries back up. More to come!
The Adams County Ohio Valley School District is now accepting applications for a Technology Support Technician. Please see the link for more information.

Congratulations to Lucas Roush for having perfect attendance the first Nine Weeks and winning the quarterly attendance award in Mr. Cooper’s CNC Machining Program!
The OVCTC FCCLA Chapter hosted a bake sale last week to raise funds for Cancer Awareness! Additionally, the FCCLA chapter was awarded a red jacket to be used at competition or state convention by the Ohio FCCLA organization!
Last week, there was a sunshine filled morning at West Union Elementary. Early Childhood Education juniors Natalee Workman, Marisa Moore, Leeann Osborne, Santana Stanfield and Annabelle Grooms helped unload over 100 pumpkins donated by Erwin Farms and Cornmaze. These pumpkins will be used for a "kindergarten pumpkin patch". Community involvement and collaboration with schools is so important and this is discussed within our early childhood classrooms. As always thanks to West Union Elementary and their staff for providing daily opportunities for our ECE students.
