Mrs. Yeager's class invited Michael Blue, Deputy Thomas' K9 partner, to her Family Consumer & Science classroom and surprised him with homemade healthy dog treats made by her students! The treats are made with peanut butter and pumpkin and are sure to be a hit with any pup! Michael Blue gave them a "two paws up" review!

Sophomore Mason Jacobs was the winner of the “Write in Red, Red Ribbon Week” contest for Westfall High School, winning $100 for his essay! The Paint Valley ADAMH Board sponsors the annual drug-abuse prevention campaign, seeking essays composed in red ink by teenagers with suggestions on how to prevent drug, alcohol, and tobacco abuse. His winning essay was then sent on to the next level, where it was judged against Pickaway County winning essays and was chosen as the county winner, awarding him a $500 scholarship. Congratulations, Mason!
