Pre-K Informative Meeting
More than 700 Mississippians are members of local school boards. They are responsible for setting the vision and goals for the district they serve. School board members work to provide a quality education for K-12 students. They lead and serve our districts and communities, and Water Valley School District is very thankful for our dedicated members.
Water Valley School District is blessed to have multiple officers that fill the role of School Resource Officer on our campuses and they are the best around! We are so fortunate to have such amazing officers around us each day. We are thankful for all you guys do, from the constant laughter, the bonds you form with our students and staff, always being willing to go above and beyond, and most importantly- keeping us safe! Thank you for ALL you do!
For kindness week, DES counselor Ms Warren talked to the students about being respectful and a good citizen.
DES Valentine’s Delivery Fairies
With the assistance of their Ole Miss student teachers, Mrs. Allred's class enjoyed an ice cream party celebrating Valentine's Day.
The 1st year students of Mr. Jones's Law and Public Safety class investigated the effects of alcohol on vision, balance, and coordination by using different levels of "drunk goggles". Wearing these goggles, students attempted a variety of simple tasks such as catching a ball, walking a straight line heel-to-toe for 10 feet, and placing their fingertips in the center of different colored geometric shapes. The final activity was to drive a remote controlled Jeep through an obstacle course of fire extinguishers in a slalom pattern. Not only was it a lot of fun, it was very effective at demonstrating the potential deadly effects of alcohol.
DES just completed a fundraiser for the Dr. Gary Scholarship fund. Students showed their love for favorite teachers by purchasing “hearts” for them. The teachers with the most hearts will get a cupcake party for their class.
The contest winners are as follows:
1st Place: Stephanie Bobo (6th grade ELA) with 742 hearts (and, Lord, I wish you all could’ve heard the 6th graders screaming when the winner was announced!)
2nd Place: Makiyah Lamberth (4th grade math)
3rd Place: Brendi Sparks (1st grade)
DES raised enough money for four $500 scholarships!!! Thanks to everyone for your support! 🩷
A HUGE thank you to Officer Pullen and Officer Gooch for providing King Cakes for all teachers and staff at Davidson Elementary today.
For Valentine’s Day, admin at DES treated their amazing staff to punch and their choice of strawberry, vanilla, or chocolate cake!
