Each program was challenged to collect the most donated items per student in the program and all donations were split evenly and will be distributed to food pantries across the four counties served by MOVTI.
Thank you to all the students who participated and helped make a positive impact in our communities!

Last week, MOVTI’s graphic design and multimedia students had the pleasure of welcoming Jared Thompson, Professor of Digital Media Design at West Liberty University!
Jared spent time reviewing WLU's program offerings before leading a fun, hands-on activity with each group. Our multimedia students especially enjoyed participating in a light painting portraiture activity and the results were absolutely amazing!
Thank you, Jared, for sharing your expertise and creativity with our students!







Mistletoe carefully examined the parts like a seasoned IT pro, while Max grabbed the screwdriver and went straight to work. Whether they’re upgrading RAM or just seeing what happens when you push buttons… these elves are fully committed to hands-on learning! 🔧💻
Let’s just hope they can manage to put it back together correctly...

Even the busiest elves need a little rest after spreading holiday cheer (and chaos). Don’t worry… they’ll be back on the job in the next program soon! 🎄✨

Mistletoe monitored the screen like a professional door attendant, while Max stood outside striking poses for the camera. 😂🎄
Don’t worry… they didn’t let anyone in without proper ID. 😉

Way to go to this week’s achievers who earned their OSHA-10 certifications! 💪👏
✅ Isabella Anderson – TCHS
✅ Justin Chen- RCHS
✅ Jaidyn Campbell- TCHS
✅ Carson Kirkland- SMHS



🎄✨ Max went full Clark W. "Sparky" Griswold, Jr. today as he bravely tackled the Christmas lights on the MOVTI tree - all 10,000 of them. Mistletoe supervised just in case things got electrifying.😆
When the lights finally kicked on, Mistletoe proudly declared:
“It’s a beaut, Clark. It’s a BEAUT.”
Current holiday spirit level: Griswold.

Because MOVTI serves Pleasants, Ritchie, Tyler, and Wetzel Counties, schedules can vary by closing type and reason. Please see the infographic to learn how we operate during weather and emergency situations.

Health Science students had an amazing experience at the Discover Day! - Medical Careers at the Washington County Career Center on December 5th!
They explored the facility, jumped into hands-on skill demonstrations, tested real healthcare equipment, and connected directly with industry professionals. It was an energizing day of learning, discovery, and future career inspiration!
Thank you to WCCC for this amazing opportunity!










Today’s models? Their loyal GI Joe friends, fully decked out in holiday spirit. 🎄
Mistletoe took charge of the creative direction (naturally), while Max handled the studio lights. Together, they set up the perfect winter scene and captured some truly elf-worthy holiday magic.✨📷


She wasted no time getting him bandaged up, propped on a tiny hospital bed, and stocked with holiday-themed Band-Aids!
Max is resting comfortably (though he might be milking the situation just a bit 🤭), and Mistletoe is proving she’s a natural in the health sciences program.
Don’t worry, with a little TLC, he’ll be back to mischief in no time...

The two decided tape measures made the perfect climbing ropes, but Max quickly learned an important lesson: when you’re working at “elf-height,” you definitely should be wearing a harness!
Stay tuned… something tells us he might be making a visit to another program for a check-up soon! ✨

They gathered up Mrs. Redin’s adorable stuffed animal friends, found a comfy spot under the Christmas tree, and began reading aloud like true classroom helpers. Max turned the pages while Mistletoe did the voices. According to their audience, it was a 10/10 performance. 😄✨
These two are learning all about early childhood education… one cozy story at a time.
Stay tuned to see where their adventures take them next! 🎅📖✨

Let’s just say… Max may have channeled his inner Grinch for a moment when he asked for a 3/4 wrench, not a 5/8. (Stay focused, Mistletoe! 😉)

They even managed to use the printers (don’t ask us how!) and filled our frames with their best shots. What perfect timing because today we’re welcoming the Tyler County 4th Graders for a tour! We’re sure Mistletoe and Max will be thrilled to show off their new title.

Meanwhile, Max is still perfecting his photography skills. He insisted on documenting the whole event for Santa, but let’s just say he might need a few more classes before starting is photography career. 📸✨
These two elves are diving headfirst into each program, one adventure at a time. Who knows what they’ll get into next? Stay tuned! 🎅✨
Mistletoe and Max have wasted no time jumping into learning here at MOVTI. Today, Mistletoe is testing out her elf-sized welding gear, while Max is busy capturing every spark and detail like the North Pole’s “official” photographer. Judging by his photo skills… well, let’s just say he might need a little more practice. 😄
These two are serious about discovering what each program does and making sure everyone is doing their best!
Keep your eyes open, our little holiday helpers could pop up in any program next! 🎄✨
