MHS 4th and 5th Grade students and staff recently enjoyed an A+ Celebration to recognize the hard work and learning gains that were accomplished during the 2020-2021 School Year on the Florida State Assessments. Students were treated to a grilled lunch, fresh cotton candy, games, and dance time. We are so incredibly proud of Mossy Head School earning a School Grade of 70 points (an increase from 62 points) and we can’t wait to see the great things coming for the 21-22 School Year! ??????
Grasses in Classes students tend salt marsh nurseries throughout the school year, and receive monthly education on local estuarine topics that meet Florida’s state science standards. Periodically, the schoolchildren split the grasses to increase the nursery stock. At the end of the school year, Grasses in Classes culminates with students planting their shoreline grasses at one of our salt marsh restoration sites along Choctawhatchee Bay as part of our living shoreline initiative. The program instills a love of local habitat, restores shoreline, and inspires the next generation of watershed stewards.
