DES had a school-wide “Narrative Writing Gallery Walk” this morning. The “gallery” was much like an art exhibit; except instead of art, student essays were displayed throughout the school. Some of Water Valley’s business and community leaders were invited to tour the school, learn about the MS-CCRS writing standards, and see the progression of writing from kindergarten through 6th grade. Teachers and students have been working hard this past 9 weeks using the “R.A.C.E.S.” writing strategy to compose their narratives. K-2nd grade’s decorations corresponded with the story they read, but 3rd-6th had an “Off to the R.A.C.E.S.” Nascar theme. Student representatives from each class were selected to speak with the adults who came to see the gallery.

A special thank you to the following district and community members who participated in the gallery walk. Jerrica Barnes, MDE; Brittany Dudley, DES Parent, Liz Reynolds, Fountain Square Event Center; Drew Pitcock, WVSD Superintendent; Sharron Lipsey, WVSD Assistant Superintendent; Randy Goodwin, WVSD Business Manager, Angie Hodge, WVSD Assistant Business Manager, Tyler Hill, BankFirst President - WV; LeShon Polk, FNB President - WV; Kim Ingram, FNB Business Development Representative- WV; Shannon Crow- Crow Martin, PLLC and DES Parent; Daniel Martin - Crow Martin, PLLC and DES Parent ; Kathryn York, President-Water Valley School District Board of Directors.

Watch for more student photos and videos over the next several days!

The first year students of Law and public safety finally got to put their drone pilot’s license to use. Each student successfully completed their first orientation flight by flying different courses at differing altitudes while learning how to operate the camera and moving through a three dimensional space on the x, y, and z axis.
