Blog Has Moved

The Welty Band Blog is moving! This will be the last post on this blog.

I have created my own webpage using a new software that the school recently purchased, and a portion of this site is dedicated to the blog. I also have many more areas of interest on the site, so please check them out.

To go to my new webpage, go to the New Philadelphia City Schools webpage (http://www.npschools.org/) and click on the link on the right side to go to the "Staff Home Pages."

Scroll down to my name and follow that link to my page. There is a link to the Blog on my homepage. When you go to the blog, you can subscribe to the blog by pushing the subscribe button at the top of the blog page.
