Mrs. Donna Timmons’ kindergarten class at WDE recently experienced apple tasting! Students learned that apples have different tastes, compared the different tastes, and decided which flavor of apple they liked best. Students recorded their experience in a scientific manner by  creating a graph of their favorite apples.  The class also enjoyed making and tasting fresh applesauce. Submitted by Jessica Dawkins

This past Saturday the Walton High School Marching Braves Band attended the Pea River Marching Band Classic in Elba, AL where they competed against 11 other bands from across the Southeast performing their 2018 production entitled Fractured Mind. In prelims the band awards received Best in Class 1A Band, Colorguard, and Drum Major and qualified to compete in the Finals competition that night. In finals the Band once again received Best in Class 1A Band, Colorguard, and Drum Major. In addition, the Band placed 3^rdPlace overall with a final score of 88.020 and the Colorguard place 1^stPlace overall with a final score of 97.000.

The Arts are a vital partnership in the mission of “Preparing the whole child for a life of Success”! We are doing great things in the WCSD in this area! Enjoyed band students and Mr. Lyons while visiting ECMS! #FineArtsStrong #ArtsEd
