West DeFuniak's 2nd Grade Garden!

February 28, 2019

2nd graders at West DeFuniak Elementary participated in planting potatoes in a grade level garden. The students were able to individually plant their own potatoes. Students learned that potatoes are usually planted first in a spring garden and what the criteria is for planting potatoes. The students had a blast working in the garden and getting a little dirty! Students are excited to see how well their plants will grow in their garden this year.  Submitted by Jessica Dawkins

The Friends of South Walton Sea Turtles is an all-volunteer organization dedicated to promoting sea turtle conservation through awareness and education for the residents and more than 3 million visitors to Walton County. Today, they shared information about sea turtle conservation with MSE fifth graders.  The students learned about the different types of sea turtles, their life cycle, and how we can help protect them.  In March, the students will attend a field trip where they will simulate the life of sea turtles at one of Walton County’s beautiful beaches.
