Last night, Carleigh Davis competed in the District Farm Bureau Speech Contest. Participants had to answer this yearโs question: "What obstacles threaten Florida agriculture's economic viability, and how do we address them?" Carleigh has worked hard with both her leadership and FFA advisors to prepare for her speech. After several long weeks of preparing and practicing for this contest, Carleigh placed 2nd in the district! ๐ We are proud of the speech that Carleigh presented and the effort she put into her presentation. She represented both Walton FFA and the Walton Leadership Class very well. Congratulations, Carleigh! We are so proud of you! ๐๐ฉต๐
Our boys golf team is off to a great start! They just competed & improved their record to 5-0! โณ๏ธ๐ In the last competition the team brought in a record low score dating back to 2010. They are currently ranked #4 in 1A public schools and are on pace to qualify for the 1A Championship for the second year in row! Walton finished 4th place last year in that tournament and will look to improve on that this year. GO BRAVES!
Yesterday was National Teach Ag Day! Our agriscience students spent the day participating in the National Association of Agricultural Educators (NAAE) national Breakout Challenge. The challenge wasn't easy. It combined critical thinking skills with inquiry-style challenges to lead students through a virtual breakout room where they must figure out the answer to one puzzle to get access to the next. Along the way each student learned how their unique blend of gifts, grit, and talent could benefit them in a career as an agricultural educator. Our students did an amazing job working together and communicating to complete this task. Happy Teach Ag Day to all agricultural educators!
๐ป๐ฑ Happy National IT Professionals Day! ๐จ โจ๏ธ

We're beyond blessed and thankful to have her as a part of our Braves family.
Thank you, Ms. Young, for your tireless efforts to keep our tech running smoothly...and for reminding us to turn it off and back on. ๐
