      As part of Carnegie Classrooms and thanks to generous funding from the Nicholas County Community Foundation, Carnegie Hall’s Cosmodome, along with Teaching Artist David Buhrman, travelled to Summersville Middle School in early November to present a week of enlightening education for all students in grades 5-8.
      Carnegie Hall’s portable Cosmodome demonstrates how Earth’s spin and tilt influence the apparent motions of celestial objects we see in the sky above. Accurate simulations inside the dome help students become acquainted with the lockstep progression of the basic constellations, the changing phases of Earth’s Moon, the life cycle of stars and the significance they have played in creating the basic elements that make up living cells.
      Carnegie Classrooms are STEAM based workshops presented in the classroom that infuse the arts into multiple disciplines by making authentic connections to content standards. Led by professional teaching artists, Carnegie Classrooms encourage student understanding, higher order thinking skills, problem solving, and a deeper appreciation of the arts while helping teachers balance core curricula being studied.
      Carnegie Hall’s Cosmodome is available for public or private educational workshops that can be tailored to most age groups and time frames. For more information, contact Education Director Harmony Flora at 304 645 7917, or by email to [email protected].

      As schools kick off a new academic year today, the return of school buses to the roads comes with a pressing reminder for all drivers: exercise utmost caution around children waiting for their rides and adhere to the proper protocols when encountering a stopped school bus. Ensuring the safety of young students is a collective responsibility that demands attention and adherence to traffic regulations.
      Children Waiting for School Buses: A Vital Focus
      With the start of the school year, many children will be found waiting at designated bus stops along roadways. These students are often excited or preoccupied with their surroundings, which means it's crucial for drivers to be particularly attentive in these areas. Slow down when approaching bus stops, stay alert for any signs of movement, and prepare to come to a complete stop if the bus displays its stop sign or flashing lights. Children may unexpectedly step onto the road while waiting for their buses, and it is the responsibility of drivers to ensure their safety.
      Stopping at a School Bus: The Correct Protocol
      When a school bus halts to pick up or drop off students and activates its flashing lights and stop sign, drivers behind and approaching the bus must come to a complete stop. This rule applies on both sides of the road, unless there is a physical barrier such as a median. Failing to stop for a school bus is not only illegal but also endangers the lives of young passengers who may be crossing the road.
      What to Do When Stopped Behind a School Bus
      Stay Patient: School buses make frequent stops, and children may take time to board or disembark. Exercise patience and avoid honking to ensure a calm and safe environment for everyone. Maintain Distance: Keep a safe following distance behind the school bus. This provides you with ample reaction time if the bus suddenly starts moving or if a child crosses in front of the bus. Wait for Signals: Wait until the bus resumes motion, retracts its stop sign, and turns off its flashing lights before proceeding. As we embrace a new school year, it's vital for drivers to internalize the significance of responsible driving around school buses and waiting students. These young individuals rely on us to ensure their safety during their commute to and from school. By diligently adhering to traffic rules and exercising patience, we can collectively create a safe environment for our community's most vulnerable members.
      Let this be a reminder that safety starts with each of us. Let's drive cautiously, be vigilant, and make this school year a safe and successful one for all.

      The State Fair of West Virginia played host to an engaging and informative live glass blowing demonstration by the Hot Glass Academy. The event, held at the fairgrounds, featured skilled artists showcasing the intricate process of transforming molten glass into intricate sculptures.
      The demonstration commenced with the Hot Glass Academy's artists skillfully utilizing blowtorches and furnaces to manipulate molten glass. Attendees watched as the artists deftly gathered molten glass from the furnace, employing precise movements to craft the material into intricate shapes.
      Amidst the eager crowd, a glass sculpture of a brachiosaurus, a prehistoric creature, was brought to life by the artisans. The artists meticulously shaped and manipulated the glass, applying spot heating and stretching techniques to achieve the desired form. The sculpture exhibited a color palette of light blue and green, showcasing the artists' adeptness at working with different glass components.
      Throughout the process, the artists employed various tools, including diamond-shaped steel tools, to carefully shape and mold the glass. Attendees observed the meticulous attention to detail required to craft the sculpture's intricate features.
      One highlight of the demonstration was the creation of a specialized attachment point, called a "punny," which allowed the glass sculpture to be handled and manipulated during the process without compromising its form. This temporary connection point was strategically attached to the sculpture and would later be detached to ensure the sculpture's stability.
      As the live demonstration reached its conclusion, the artists expertly separated the glass sculpture from its temporary holding rod, ensuring that the sculpture's delicate features remained intact. Attendees observed the artists' deliberate and precise movements, a testament to their extensive experience in the craft.
      The demonstration not only captivated fairgoers but also provided insight into the complexities of glass blowing as an art form. The audience gained an appreciation for the delicate balance of heat, timing, and technique required to shape molten glass into intricate sculptures.
      As fair attendees departed, they left with a deeper understanding of the intricate artistry involved in glass blowing and the dedication of the Hot Glass Academy's skilled artists. The live demonstration offered an educational and engaging experience that resonated with those who had the opportunity to witness the fusion of creativity and craftsmanship in action.

      Eastern Greenbrier Middle School faced a security scare on May 10th when an unloaded gun was discovered in a student's backpack. While no immediate danger was present, the incident has raised questions among parents regarding the school's response and safety protocols. Some parents argue that any weapon discovery should prompt an immediate lockdown until law enforcement gives an all-clear signal. However, the school's handling of the situation did not align with these expectations.
      The incident came just over a month after West Virginia's Attorney General, Patrick Morrisey, visited Lewisburg on April 7th. During a Q&A session with the Greenbrier Journal and other reporters, Morrisey, who is currently running for governor, was asked about school safety. His response emphasized the need for physical defense within schools, stating, "I think we need someone in every school that can rise up and defend if somebody comes in. If we're going to send all of these initiatives to the public schools, we should at least have someone there who can defend them physically on premise."
      The discovery of the unloaded gun at Eastern Greenbrier Middle School has brought Morrisey's remarks back into focus. Some parents argue that having a designated defense presence in schools could have prevented potential harm and ensured a swift response to the incident. They assert that lockdown procedures should be implemented as a precautionary measure until law enforcement clears the situation.
      However, the school's administration did not initiate a lockdown when the weapon was discovered. This decision has left some parents frustrated and seeking answers as to why stricter safety measures were not immediately implemented. It is important to note that the unloaded gun did not pose an immediate threat to students or staff. The authorities were promptly notified, and the situation was resolved without any harm.
      School officials have defended their actions, explaining that the decision not to implement a lockdown was based on a thorough assessment of the situation. They deemed the situation to be under control and felt that a lockdown would have caused unnecessary panic among the students. The school's safety protocols were followed, and appropriate measures were taken to ensure the well-being of all individuals on campus.
      The incident at Eastern Greenbrier Middle School serves as a reminder of the ongoing debate surrounding school safety and the appropriate response to weapons on school property. While some parents believe that immediate lockdowns are necessary in such situations, others argue for a case-by-case evaluation to prevent undue disruption and anxiety among students.
      As investigations into the incident continue, the school administration has pledged to review and improve its safety protocols. They are committed to addressing the concerns of parents and ensuring the utmost security for their students. Collaborative efforts with local law enforcement will also be strengthened to bolster safety measures and emergency response procedures.
      While this incident at Eastern Greenbrier Middle School has been unsettling for the community, it has also sparked important discussions about school safety and the best approaches to protecting students. The incident will likely serve as a catalyst for continued improvements in security protocols and further dialogue among school administrators, law enforcement agencies, and concerned parents.
