Moundsville Middle School students, under the direction of Gifted English Language Arts teacher Kimberly Ghaphery, participated in the annual Explore the New Manufacturing Video Contest for middle schools. Recently, the team was announced as the Northern Regional Winner for 2023: Best Manufacturing Message.

The student team consisted of Lexi Landis, Irelyn Lowe, Hailey Hill, Sadi Willis, David Durig III, Lorelei Williams, Adam Evans, Kaelyn Wyatt, Fiona Renn, Elin McGuire, Lillie Goddard, Brayden Slaughter and Owen Berisford. The team of 13 created a video about Paul Wissmach Glass in Paden City, West Virginia.

Preparation for the video entailed an initial visit to the company and the creation of a storyboard that was approved by the manufacturer and the Explore team. They visited the facility for a second day of recording by the student production team. Students then edited the video to fit the three-minute time limit. The MMS team submitted a draft video that included team participation, three compete interviews and a solid manufacturing message that highlighted the company’s best product.

Owners Jason and Annabelle Wilburn were so impressed with the student video production that the video will be played in Germany to one of their top buyers.
