Our 5th graders took their learning to new heights this week! 💨🏠 They designed and built hurricane-proof houses using their knowledge of science and engineering. To test their creations, we put them through the ultimate hurricane simulation, complete with water and a powerful leaf blower! 🌪️🌊 It was a blast to see their innovative ideas come to life and learn firsthand about the importance of strong structures in extreme weather conditions.
DES Positive Office Referrals

The faculty, staff and SROs with Water Valley School District are ust the best. This shout out from a colleague shows the support they have for one another.
Shout out to these two:
Dr. Keene offered to walk and get an elderly woman’s car after she parked on the home side and was trying to get to the visitor side. She not only got her car, but she drove her to the other side dropped her off at the gate and parked her car closer so she would not have to walk so far back.
