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.

On November 3rd, students in Ms. Kathy Russ' science class at WMS learned how chemical reactions occur by conducting a naked egg experiment. The students soaked eggs in vinegar to cause the shells to be eaten away. The eggs became rubberized and even bounced! Mrs. Russ' students were proud to explain and show off the results of their experiments. Submitted by Kristen Rhodes.

BES 3^rd & 4^th graders were excited to participate in the Studies Weekly 2016 Nationwide Mock Presidential Election. Students researched each candidate, they learned how to compare and contrast, then they cast their vote!

WMS students learn the value of recycling in Mrs. Katlyn Arnold's Art classes. In recent weeks, students have been utilizing recycled materials when learning about history and the world around them. For instance, in one project, students created recycled cardboard heads that resemble inspiring people who changed the world, such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Gandhi, Einstein, and Bob Marley, among others. In a separate project, students created cardboard self-portraits. In Mrs. Arnold's class, students enjoy conserving resources while combining their imagination and knowledge.
