This is one bracket that's always perfect. McConnellsville Elementary School has been working through a March Picture Book Madness tournament, with advancing books voted on by students.

At the McConnellsville Elementary Learning Fair, they play both kinds of music: Country AND Western. Isn't that right, Elwood? As for Jake, he might be stuck in Joliet. We're not sure, but he's not here right now. If anyone sees him.... the Learning Fair continues until 7 PM.

On Monday, fourth graders from McConnellsville Elementary School had a very special visitor! Mrs. Hollis had her nephew, Logan Eastman, drop by for a visit. Logan, from nearby Pulaski, is a Head Diesel Mechanic in the US Marine Corps, and recently returned from an overseas tour in nations such as Japan and South Korea! He gave an overview of the work he does, and made plenty of time for student questions about the challenges and opportunities of being a Marine. He also brought some interesting items from his service including his Marine Corps Ring, the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor emblem that each Marine receives upon graduating, and a jacket from the South Korean Marines!

The visit wrapped up with our fourth grade students reprising their musical performance of "The Brave", which they also sang at the school's veterans' day assembly in November.
