Hooray for Socktober! In the month of October, Mossy Head School K-Kids celebrated Socktober. To prepare for the upcoming months of colder weather the students collected over 216 pairs of socks. These socks will be donated to children in need in our community. Their first service project of the year was a great success! Submitted by Elizabeth Gaither.

The Marching Braves were represented well on Nov. 3, as several students were accepted into the first ever Baptist College of Florida Honor Band! These students worked with some of the best musicians from schools in surrounding counties to put together an "All Star" band concert. A DVD of the performance was created and will be sent to WHS soon.
Our students rehearsed all morning and were then fed by BCF and had an opportunity to walk the campus before putting on a great performance. Our students were the only representatives from Walton County, and they did a superb job. Submitted by Christy English.
