Carlene Frederick and other members of the Calhoun County Board of
Education commented on the spirit brought to the county by two events.
This past week, the huge crowd and excitement of last week's football game
between Wirt and Calhoun and the "Light's On!" celebration Monday evening
at Calhoun Middle-High School.
Maestro Rachel Worby of the Wheeling Symphony told "Lights On!"
coordinator Tony Russell and administrator Greg Cartwright, the students at
CM/HS were "the best behaved of any entire school group before which she
performed."
"I have been all around the world," said Worby. "This is a real tribute to our
students and school system," said Cartwright.
