"Whirled" Peace Day at VRB

October 3, 2017

International Day of Peace was recently celebrated at Van R. Butler Elementary School. Students created handmade pinwheels in art class under the guidance of Art Teacher Constance Rogers, then planted them around campus to symbolize “Whirled Peace”. This is an annual event at the school that affords students a chance to discuss what peace means and how they can help contribute to a peaceful society. Submitted by Tammy Smith.

The PHS Student Council will be sponsoring the annual Blood Drive on October 31, 2017  from 8:00 – 3:00 at Paxton School.  Community members are welcome to come to donate blood at Paxton School that day!  There is a great need for blood due to the recent hurricanes depleting the blood supply.

WDE Donuts with Dads

September 29, 2017

West DeFuniak welcomed a huge number of dads on 9/27/17 for Donuts with Dads.  This year the dads visted the classrooms with their students and participated in activities such as reading an Accelerated Reader Book, working on Math problems on the computer, or even visiting the library with their child.   It was great to see so many dads!
