West DeFuniak First Graders Visit Emerald Coast Zoo

       On Friday April 30^th, the First Graders of West DeFuniak Elementary visited the Emerald Coast Zoo in Crestview. These students spent the day learning about a variety of wildlife found right here in our area and from around the world! This hands-on adventure has left these students excited to learn more about the world around them, as well as inspiring them to appreciate and take care of our environment!

No time for hibernation for the VRB Bears in 5^th Grade!  They were preparing like there is “No Tomorrow” for their FSA Assessments coming up.  Teachers were operating Jeopardy Board, Algebraic Expressions were challenging the minds of students who were ALL working in groups to make sure “No Bears” would be left behind or alone when it comes to being prepared, ready, and yes Simply EPIC!  What a Fifth Grade Team of teachers and support staff making it happen as the Superintendent made an unannounced visit to the largest elementary school in the WCSD!  “Let’s Go Bears, You Got This!”

Walton High School teachers want to be sure our students know how much they are loved and reminded of how hard they have worked this year.  As students came ack to school on Monday, our goal was to make them smile a little bigger and feel confident knowing they have a huge support system behind them when they see notes from their teachers lining Braves Blvd.  Every Walton High School student has a note of encouragement from someone in the building. 

Congratulations to our three winners.
