"A former student made this mask for me! Isn’t it hilarious!!??"
"I grew these tomatoes and marigold flowers. I picked them on 9/11/20 and they looked like a face. I posted on FB and people enjoyed him and with the help with others, we named him Sir Roma."
Caption: Sir Roma: "At mean time, I will be safe. My mask is garlicky enough, so it will help scare Rona. Garlic has anti-viral, anti-infection, and anti-SOCIAL properties."
I believe that if everyone had worn a mask as early as we could have done, we would not be in today's situation, lots of lives can be saved. This pic is just a fun way to promote mask wearing without people getting into a political argument.
"My first attempt at a COVID19 mask.
Fail - syrup kept dripping on my shirt."
President of the WVU School Counselor Association

"As a school counselor at Skyview Elementary School in Westover, I wanted to help relieve the anxiety of my students as they prepare to return to school. Emily, my puppet (and literal left-hand girl) helps me as I teach classroom lessons and talk with students. The picture was taken to post on our school social media sites to try and "normalize" wearing masks for students."
We also created a YouTube video to help explain the proper wearing of masks: https://youtu.be/meDv4FH_quc
"I bought all of the masks except the one for Musket. I made that from a paper towel and a WVU sticker I pried of an Interlibrary Loan book cover. The one of me with a baseball-themed mask sums it all up for me. I am wearing a mask and my glasses are steamed up."
"My mask is from Diop, a (previously) small company in my hometown area of Detroit, MI."
"Here’s my rare book mask. The book cover was designed by a woman, Margaret Armstrong, who created book binding designs in the late 19th and early 20th c. She was a trained artist, and worked in other media as well. She was among the first in the field of what we now call graphic designers. We have this book, among others she designed, in the rare book room. This is one of her most popular designs: The Blue Flower by Henry Van Dyke, 1902."
