The Easter Bunny made a stop in Mrs. Haynie's classroom today at DES.








Water Valley High School was fortunate to have Crime Scene Investigators Amber Conn and Angela Feraci with the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation come and spend the day speaking with the 1st year students of Law and Public Safety. Agent Conn discussed how they investigate and process crime scenes and death investigations as well as demonstrating some of the tools of their trade.

Water Valley High School students attended the Ole MS baseball game yesterday as a PBIS incentive and meeting benchmark growth.





That's a wrap! What a great season these archers have had. Pictured here are the middle and high school archers, head coach Jackie Egdorf and assistant Steve Lindsey with their medals and trophy for placing as the state runner up for Class 1A.

🚗💨 Mrs. Jacks' 5th graders took STEM to the next level with their at-home balloon-powered car projects! They applied Newton’s Laws, got creative with their designs, and brought their inventions to class to test and present. So proud of their hard work and scientific thinking! 🧠🎈

Dr. Person was asked for quotes regarding these two admins. Her replies, "These two bring so much joy, laughter, and passion with them on a daily basis; I could not make it without them and we call them the dynamic duo!"
