BWXT’s $25,000 Donation Ignites Future Welding Talent at MVHS in memory of John Haynes Tuesday, 28 November 2023 Matt Thompson MSD of Mount Vernon News MVHS News MVJH News Farmersville News Marrs News West News In a tribute to the memory of John Haynes, BWXT has generously donated $25,000 to Mount Vernon High School’s welding program. John Haynes and General Manager, Nate Foote, have played pivotal roles in establishing this program at the high school, which is staffed by BWXT employees and offers students a unique opportunity to gain hands-on welding experience. With the help of BWXT employees, the program offers students an exceptional opportunity to develop valuable welding skills and gain real-world experience. The curriculum covers a wide range of welding techniques, safety protocols, and industry standards, ensuring that students receive comprehensive training. The program stands out with its direct link to BWXT, offering a clear pathway for students to transition from the classroom to a career. This unique collaboration between the high school and a prominent industry player like BWXT not only prepares students for the workforce but also addresses the growing demand for skilled welders in the manufacturing sector. BWXT’s donation of $25,000 to Mount Vernon High School’s welding program is a powerful testament to their commitment to education and the improvement of the community. This generous contribution will have a profound impact on the program, allowing it to invest in state-of-the-art welding equipment, safety gear, and additional educational resources. BWXT’s involvement with the MSD of Mount Vernon is more than just philanthropy; it’s a partnership that fosters growth, learning, and real-world opportunities. We extend our deepest gratitude to BWXT for their visionary support and commitment to nurturing the next generation of skilled welders.

Vernon Community. Many of these experiences have specifically honored Family, Community and Country. During the first week of September our West Elementary School PTO invited Grandparents of our West students in for Breakfast before school. Hundreds of students and their Grandparents attended the Grandparents Day Breakfast in our West Cafeteria enjoying donuts and pictures! Also, towards the beginning of September our 4th Grade Students had the opportunity to learn more about local Indiana History during a Field Tript to River Days. In addition, our West Student Council proudly represented our school in the River Days Parade. We believe it is important for students to participate in local community traditions such as River Days to develop an understanding and appreciation of their own community. On September 11th, our entire school - students and staff met at the flagpole to recite the Pledge of Allegiance together and have a moment of silence in honor of 9/11/01. We were honored to be led by Gunnery Sgt. Benjamin Hartmann of the United States Marines Corps. Benjamin Hartmann is a former MVHS graduate and father of two current West Elementary students. We appreciate his sacrifice for our safety and freedom and will keep him in our thoughts as he sets out on a two year call to duty in Japan this next month. Another meaningful opportunity for our students was the Spirit Week we had at West to coincide with MVHS Homecoming Week. We believe that encouraging our students to support and participate in community activities such as these add significant value and treasured memories to their K-12 Education in the MSD of Mt. Vernon. As we rounded out the last month full of Family, Community and Country, our 9th Annual West Elementary School Family Picnic was a Huge Success again this year! Over 500 West students, family members, and staff members thoroughly enjoyed our tradition of Food and Fun! We are proud of the experiences our students have had during the first quarter of the school year and cannot wait to see what the rest of the fall semester brings! Amanda Wilson West Elementary School Principal 0 1239 Hits 0 Comments Tags: #WeAreMV Tweet LEADING by Example Wednesday, 30 August 2023 Amanda Wilson West News The start of each school year brings new opportunities for students. Our West Elementary School Students have already benefited from opportunities that encourage participation in something EXTRA” and also promotes students to LEADERSHIP. Mt. Vernon High School student athletes from a variety of Fall Sports and Band Members visited our West Elementary School Students in our cafeteria for ALL IN Friday before school on Friday, August 18th. West students were VERY Excited to have the opportunity to get autographs, take pictures, and visit with these Student Leaders from MVHS. What’s even more impactful for our West Students is being able to hear and see that many of the Athletes and Band Members were former West Warriors themselves. This absolutely encourages our own West Warriors to strive to participate in extra activities such as sports and music as they continue their student careers in the MSD of Mt. Vernon. Last week some of our own West Warriors took on LEADERSHIP positions here at West with the announcement of our new Student Council Members. We know our 2023-2024 West Elementary Student Council will do a Fantastic Job of planning Fun and Meaningful Activities for our school and community this year. These West Elementary School Leaders will do an Excellent Job of representing our school and showing everyone what it means to RESPECT. WORK. and ACHIEVE!
