We are thrilled to congratulate our **Super Duolingo Students** who dedicated hours last summer to practicing and improving their Spanish skills! 🎉 **Felicitaciones** to the top students in each level for their hard work and dedication:
- **Kelly Bolyard** – Spanish VH
- **Anna Poling** – Spanish IV

👏 A special shoutout to our classes for having the opportunity to learn from two incredible guest speakers the last 2 weeks: Jade Barreto** from Venezuela and **Daniela Moreno** from Colombia. Students had the chance to interview them, learn about their countries, and most importantly, practice their Spanish in real-world settings! 🌍✨

As a principal, I often receive reports from the WVSSAC officials. Often the reports include information about injuries or penalties. Then every now and then you get a report like this.
The win last night was great, but this report was even better in this administrators opinion. Congratulations to Coach Foley, the Hampshire HS head coach, their coaching staff,, schools and families.
"Explanation: This is a very positive report. Every official wants a game like the one my crew had Friday September 20, 2024, at Grafton. Every player for Grafton and their opponent Hampshire displays good sportsmanship from the start of the coin toss and throughout the game. All players were respective to their opponent and to the officials. My crew and I notice acts of helping their opponent up and always address the officials respectful if they had a question. The players behavior made the game an enjoyment for the officials. They are a credit to their coaches, school and community!
