Thank you to everyone that donated in the Walton High School FBLA's canned food drive! Over 850 cans were collected - twice the amount collected last year!

Congratulations to Ms. Nelson’s 5th period class for collecting the most cans (217) and to Ms. Huff’s 5th period class for earning second place (with 199 cans).

We would also like to thank the FBLA members, baseball players, and AVID students that helped with the drive & delivering the cans to The Matrix. Coach Harless & Mrs. Harless are so proud of these students and their hard work in this project that will help people in our community.

West DeFuniak Elementary faculty and staff gathered to show support for Mrs. Kathy Friend who has been recently diagnosed with cancer. With numerous donations, combined with a t-shirt fundraiser, the WDE Faculty and Staff were able to present Mrs. Friend with $2,484.00 to help with her medical expenses. Together, the WDE family is strong!

On November 22nd, two class winners from each sixth grade ELA class at WMS competed in the schoolwide 4H Tropicana Public Speaking Contest.  Each student pushed his or her jitters aside and bravely took the stage, delivering the speeches they'd planned, written, and practiced.  Students were judged for both the composition and presentation of their chosen material.  The following students walked away from the competition victorious, making their teachers, peers, and families proud:  (L to R)  Chandler Shoaf--3rd place; Dosier Gossman--1st place; Maddie Baur--2nd place.

Students in the West DeFuniak Elementary Kiwanis Kids Club went shopping for ten children from the Families First Network Angel Tree.

The money that they raised from their Thanksgiving Bake Sale was used to help bring a little Christmas Cheer to those in our community affected by economic hardship, deployment, or unfortunate events. These anonymous families can now share in the joy of the season!
