Anyone who thinks that today’s young people don’t have great ideas or initiative simply don’t know the young folks in our communities!

Last Friday, May 12th I had the privilege of serving as a judge for the EQT, and Education Alliance sponsored, 5th Annual Wetzel County Innovation Showcase, at Magnolia High School. All I can tell you is that our world is in good hands with these young innovators!

While projects varied widely, the intent of all contestants was clearly the same; to bring something needed to our communities with broader application possibilities to other parts of the country and even the world!

Congratulations to all of the students who participated. You make me hopeful for the future!
