First of all I wanted to say good job to all the game design teams at Tygarts Valley. You did a very good job. You took on a challenging task that you knew nothing about in the beginning and you finished with flying colors.
All of the teams completed their games presented them. You finished the job you set out to do, and you had many obstacles to overcome this year. Snow days, assemblies, the WESTEST, and fieldtrips are just a few of the things that took class time away from your class schedule. However, you found time to finish you games, and one team, the Carrot Wizards, even won first place in the Civics and News Literacy division in the state with their game, the Adventures of Henry the Hedgehog. So, Jacob, Tyler, and Jarred give yourselves a pat on the back for a job well-done.
For those of you who didn't know Jeff Shrock WBOY TV came to Tygarts Valley and spoke with us about the class and looked at the game. The story aired on Monday, June 13 and can be found on their website. Mr. Shrock indicated that he may return to do a follow-up story on the game at a later date. The Carrot Wizards will receive their awards at the Randolph County BOE meeting on July 18. Again, congratulations to Jacob, Tyler, and Jarred for their game!
They set the bar high for next year's game design students at Tygarts Valley. Are you up to the challenge? We shall see.
Congratulations to your Carrot Wizards team! It sounds as if you had a good year. I was going to say that I would see you next week but didn't see your name on the listing of e-mails.
