Second year Law & Public Safety students applied their knowledge of the court system with the Mock Trial of New Columbia v. Chris Archer. Defense Attorney Erika Perry put up a stiff defense, but Prosecutor Ross Nethercutt won the day with a second-degree murder conviction. Multiple programs at MOVTI, including Diesel, Grow Your Own, and EMS, provided jurors who decided the case.
EMS Students along with the Law & Public Safety program worked together today in a simulated Mass Casualty Incident (MCI). Students had to respond to an active shooter who also had a bomb. Communication, teamwork, leadership and problem-solving skills were put to the test as students worked together with continuously changing priorities to do the most good for the most people. Several programs contributed to the effort with role players from CEM Tech, Nursing, Graphic Design and Computer Repair.
Law & Public Safety students applied teamwork, leadership and communication skills at our annual airsoft trip to Ohio Valley Airsoft.

Thank you to the WV Carpenter's Training Center for hosting students from MOVTI yesterday. Our students had a chance to attend the training center's Spring Open House in Parkersburg. The event offered an opportunity for anyone interested in a career in carpentry to tour the facility and learn about their apprenticeship program.
The Healthy ABC's coloring book is complete!
Three MOVTI programs have successfully created a healthcare-related coloring book for kindergarten students. In order to create an age-appropriate coloring book, the Therapeutic Services students researched the cognitive development, skills, and abilities of both age groups (3-5 and 5-10 years). They brainstormed words for each letter of the alphabet and collaborated with graphic design students to create drawings for each letter/word. The graphic design students then digitized the drawings and formatted the pages for printing. Over 250 books were printed and assembled. The entire process took more than two months to complete. Finally, the GYO Future Educators delivered the books to each kindergarten class at the schools where they participate in field observations.
We have included a link to download the book and print your own pages!

Pleasants County Emergency Manager, Steve Knight, recently conducted a training session for Law & Public Safety students on how to respond to a hazardous material incident as a first responder. During the session, the students were given exercises to work on, using the Emergency Response Guidebook to identify placards and other factors that help determine how to respond to such incidents.
