South Bloomfield Elementary 2nd graders had a special visitor as Meteorologist Sarah Converse stopped by to talk all things weather!
Students learned more about meteorology, how weather is predicted and what it’s like to be a meteorologist. They also had the opportunity to ask questions and learn from a real-world expert about a topic they’ve been exploring in the classroom.
Thank you, Sarah, for spending time with our students and helping bring their learning to life!

As part of Viking Academy, 70 staff members, including teachers, administrators, secretaries and bus drivers had the opportunity to visit Arsenal-1 at Anduril, gaining a firsthand look at the innovative work happening right here in our community.

Congratulations to Teays Valley High School students Marley Jones and Cohen Carpenter on representing Viking Nation at the 2026 Buckeye Girls State and Buckeye Boys State programs!
Marley had an incredible week, serving as both a participant and director in the Buckeye Girls State Band while also being elected County Sheriff. In that role, she carried out warrants, participated in legal court proceedings, and even toured the Wood County Sheriff's Office and jail to gain firsthand insight into law enforcement.
Cohen proudly represented Teays Valley at Buckeye Boys State, where he performed as a trumpet player in the Buckeye Boys State Band. He was also selected by the elected governor to serve as his speechwriter, crafting speeches and coaching him on speech delivery and etiquette. During the week, Cohen also had the opportunity to meet and speak with Ohio Governor Mike DeWine.
These outstanding leadership programs provide students with hands-on experiences in government, public service, and civic engagement while helping them develop skills that will serve them for years to come.
Way to represent Teays Valley proudly, Marley and Cohen! #VikingPride
