Pre-Engineering & Drafting students collaborated with Mr. Becker (Carpentry instructor) to design and build a MOVTI Christmas tree for Pleasants County's Community of Trees Celebration - from just a photo! Welding students helped out by welding the internal rod and creating the MOVTI star. Go check it out at the Pleasants County Family Support Center's 2nd Annual Community of Trees Celebration.

Mistletoe and Max spent some time in the Drafting program today getting hands-on with the 3D printer. Of course, they couldn’t resist creating a little Christmas magic! ✨

From festive decorations to tiny holiday trees, these elves proved that creativity and technology go hand in hand. Safe to say the North Pole would definitely approve of this setup! 🎅🎁

Law & Public Safety students recently organized a food drive competition to support local food pantries and help feed families in need this holiday season.

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!

Today’s adventure took Mistletoe and Max into the information technology classroom, where they decided the best way to learn was to completely tear apart a computer. 😆

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...

Mr. Haught searched everywhere for Mistletoe and Max this morning and finally found them tucked away in the diesel shop where they were fast asleep after all the mischief they caused on yesterday. ❄️😄

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! 🎄✨

Mrs. Knight stepped away from her desk for ONE MINUTE, and that was all the time Mistletoe and Max needed to take over the office's door control system.

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. 😉

🎄✨ 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.

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!

Good news! Max is back on his feet! And to celebrate, he and Mistletoe headed straight to our Photography & Digital Media studio for a festive photo shoot.

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.✨📷

After his daring climbing stunt in carpentry yesterday, Max found himself in the caring hands of Nurse Mistletoe today! 👩‍⚕️🩺

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...

Mistletoe and Max took their curiosity to the carpentry shop today and things got a little more adventurous than planned! 😅

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! ✨

Today, Mistletoe and Max made themselves right at home in Mrs. Redin’s Future Educator's classroom and decided it was the perfect place for story time!

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! 🎅📖✨

Today Mistletoe and Max rolled into the Automotive program… literally! 🚗✨ Max decided to take on the very serious task of repairing the Batmobile, and Mistletoe was put in charge of handing over the tools. 🛠️
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! 😉)

Mistletoe and Max were up to big mischief this morning! They staged their very own photoshoot and officially declared themselves the MOVTI “Elves of the Quarter.”

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.

It’s only Wednesday, and Mistletoe has already found herself quite the situation in Law and Public Safety! Today she made her very first “arrest” and it seems the perp is a mischievous troll with some seriously wild hair. Don’t worry, though… the troll is cooperating and seems oddly proud of those tiny handcuffs. 😄

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! 🎅✨

Look who’s already hard at work in the welding shop! 🔧🔥

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! 🎄✨
