Carpentry and Building Maintenance students have been busy this week! They are getting started on walls for their training building that will hold pods where they can practice plumbing, masonry, electrical work, flooring, and other essential skills! Real Learning for the Real World!
We will be selling raffle tickets for these AMAZING items! Come and support our event by trying your chance on a porch swing (2 sizes available), kids' picnic table, shooting bench, WVU fire ring, or full size picnic table-- all student made!
MOVTI computer repair students are hosting another community week - November 6 through November 14. See flyer for details.
Last week, Mr. Bunch's PCMS students participated in a design challenge. Students were given two pieces of paper and a full bottle of water. They had to design the tallest tower using ONLY the materials given. The 5th graders won the challenge!
Project Lead the Way (Pre-Engineering) student, Daniel Winland (SM), designed and 3D printed a new lock out/tag out canister for Mr. Collins and his Industrial Equipment Maintenance class.
Mr. Morehead's morning students recently had the chance to participate in two simulated emergencies, which provided them with a valuable opportunity to put into practice the skills they have learned. These types of simulations are a great way for students to gain practical experience and build confidence in their abilities.
Law & Public Safety students Erika Perry (MHS) and Drake Duty (SM) attended the FBI Teen Academy in Charleston, WV this week. They represented MOVTI well, learned new skills and gained contacts with many federal and state agencies.
Therapeutic Services students learned about being a mandated reporter, which means they are responsible for reporting signs of abuse/neglect. They presented different signs on pumpkins as part of a peer teaching exercise.
Multimedia Publishing student, Ada Chen (RC), is shown with the WV SkillsUSA Fall Leadership Conference program booklet. Ada's artwork was chosen for the booklet and student and advisor badges. Congratulations!
SkillsUSA WV Fall Leadership began today. Students participated in workshops, x-games and a community service project - Soles for Souls. All students are working toward earning their SkillsUSA Statesman award.
Law and Public Safety student, Drake Duty(SM), presented to MOVTI faculty and staff today to review radio essentials and etiquette. Radios will be used throughout the school to ensure connectivity during any emergency situations that may arise. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, Drake!
2-4-6-8... who do we appreciate? Our second spotlight this week is looking at our Embedded Math and Entrepreneurship instructor, Mr. Sandy!
The students from Graphic Design, Multimedia Publishing, and Education worked together with the second graders of St. Marys Elementary School to create a Halloween-inspired art project that was both spooky and fun. The project involved students sharing their knowledge of drawing and watercolor techniques with the second graders, while also incorporating the children's creative ideas and input into the final product. Throughout the project, the students were able to collaborate and learn from one another, making it a valuable and rewarding experience for everyone involved. Overall, it was a fantastic opportunity for the students to showcase their skills and contribute to the community by engaging with the younger generation!
We missed last week's spotlight, so we'll be doing two this week! Our first spotlight is on Kenneth Collins, our CEM/Industrial Maintenance Instructor!
Our Tech or Treat event is a school-wide effort that we're very proud of, and we'd be thrilled if our communities could come by our center to have some spooky fun and see what we're all about!
Haunted House- Automotive, Diesel, EMT, CEM Tech
Face Printing- Graphic Design
Virtual Reality- Computer Systems
Fingerprinting / Parking / Security- Law & Public Safety, Drafting

Entrepreneurship and Project Lead The Way students worked together and utilized their design-thinking brains during a fun competition today! Students were given two pieces of paper (no tape!) to create the tallest tower that also would support a full bottle of water. All groups did a great job of collaborating and coming up with great ideas!
Students in the Law & Public Safety Program got to practice handcuffing and lifting a fingerprint during their tour of Washington State Community College's Criminal Justice Program. They also got to tour the Marietta Police Department. A special thanks to CJ Professor Stephanie Harlow and Captain Nedeff and Sergeant Kramer of MPD.
Students had a great time working together on some creepy/cute advertisements for our upcoming Tech or Treat event! The Drafting, Multimedia Publishing, Carpentry, Future Educators, and Entrepreneurship students all collaborated and came up with some really awesome spiders. A big shoutout to Mrs. Shirley Hupp for lending a hand too!
MOVTI programs help students build confidence and leadership skills for their future careers. With Career and Technical Education, students are in control of their own learning, which is great for developing independence and taking charge of their future.
This week's spotlight is on our Graphic Design Instructor, Misty Leithead!
