MSE students brought in their spare change, which totaled $1,029.54, during the annual “Change for Children” campaign. This money will be combined with the collections from all other Walton County schools to benefit Children In Crisis, Inc., which provides a home to abused, neglected, and abandoned children in our community. The students shown here were among the 5th graders who helped collect and count the change.

The 7th Grade Assessment for DNA asked students to CREATE a DNA molecule out of red licorice, toothpicks and marshmallows. This model not only had to be correct in its base pairs, it also had to take the correct form! Students were nervous about this not traditional assessment, but they all did AMAZING! We are extremely proud of our students at WMS!
