It is a great Monday when you have emails like this in your inbox. This is an email from an official in the WVSSAC.
Shout out to Coach Bord, Coach Foley, players and all support staff for the excellent work.
"Explanation: Players and coaches displayed excellent sportsmanship during their game against Liberty. They were all respectful toward the officials and to the playes' of the opposing team. Grafton should be very proud of their facility, and the people who assist with game day preparation including the clock keepers, PA announcer, and especially the chain crew, which did a great job. Rich Bord is responsible for all of this and should be praised for all of his hard work and dedication to his school and community. Grafton always provides a nice dressing facility with food and drinks for the officials. This hospitality and generosity is much appreciated by all officials that get to officiate games at Grafton High School. Thanks so much to Coach Bord, the football coaches, and staff for running one of the best venues and facilities in the state."

Each student received a copy of his/her Rooms code for family logins today.
Rooms is the new communication software the county deployed this year. The good news is, once you create the account, it is good for all classes and activities, so you do not need a code for each class and activity. It will allow you to receive information and communicate with school personnel. (It will be used in replace of Remind.)
Below are directions on how to get started once you have an account. Contact the school if you need assistance. Have a great weekend!



On September 25th, Nanny's Ice Cream Bus will be here during Double Lunch. Cash only. Enjoy a sweet treat on Monday!
