WVHS teachers participate in “Christmas on Film- Home Alone” on pajama day!
The ladies of WVHS child nutrition department are in the holiday spirit today!
Water Valley High School Student Council completed their annual fundraiser for Junior Auxiliary's Project Santa. Students purchased paper Christmas trees for 25 cents to give to their favorite teacher. Earning the most trees was Coach Faust, 665 trees, with Coach McCain in close second, 644 trees. The students raised $665.50 to present to JA.
Each year JA partners with the community to provide Christmas presents to the neediest children in Water Valley. This project has been in existence for the non profit organization more than 45 years. It has grown from giving slightly used toys to a few children to purchasing wish list items for 153 children this year.

Band Concert this Friday night!
'tis the season on the campuses of DES and WVHS.
Scott Darby, flight paramedic, came and visited the Health Science 2 students. While there, Scott explained to students the career path he took as well as the most common accidents he sees. He worked with students to help them through the process of triage. Students learned skills such as stabilizing a stab wound, treating a pregnancy woman, and how to use oxygen lines. To sum it up, his visit was not only fun but educational. Thank you Mr. Scott!
North Swole Powerlifting Invitational was a huge success and lots of fun. Entry fee was a toy for children of WV and we collected over 140 items.
Skylar Jordan, a 9th grader at Water Valley High, was chosen to participate in the Mississippi Bandmasters Association Honor Band in Natchez Mississippi. She was able to perform with band students all around the state. Congratulations to Skylar!
