The Freeport Middle School Art Department loved making this project. The assignment was simply to make whatever picture you want to using torn paper. These artists sure do have a bright and creative imagination. Way to go Bulldogs!!
Shark Tank hosted by Walton Area Chamber at a CHELCO sponsored luncheon gave WCSD Leadership students from Freeport, Paxton, and South Walton an opportunity to use their Innovative, business, collaborative and Public Speaking Skills today. What a treat it is to have Mrs. Megan Harrison and her staff organize such an event and make this a major learning experience for our students. Our students rose to the occasion and impressed the audience of Business Leaders county wide, but most importantly attempted to impress the “Shark Judges”! Paxton won the investing, but all were extremely impressive!! EPIC is the way!!!!

Walton County School District
Recognizes Child Abuse Prevention Month
Walton County School District recognizes April as Child Abuse Prevention Month. National Child Abuse Prevention Month is a time for us to not only honor those who work to support children and strengthen families, but to shine a light on the many ways we can all play a role in preventing children from being harmed.
The Prevention Resource Guide, an annual publication by the Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families Children’s Bureau outlines actions that can be taken by communities, organizations, families, and individuals to address the root causes of child abuse and provide meaningful and equitable support to families.
You can access the Prevention Resource Guide and other resources at the Child Welfare Information Gateway’s at https://www.childwelfare.gov.
By increasing efforts to prevent child abuse, we all help children, families, and communities thrive.
