This Kindergarten game had Mrs. Johnson’s class buzzing! Students worked together to come up with words that started with one sound and ended with another—like /s/ and /t/ becoming “seat,” “soft,” or even “sunset.” We played Boys vs. Girls, and let’s just say the girls were on fire today! So proud of all the creative thinking and teamwork happening in Mrs. Johnson’s classroom.

During November, WHMS Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) held a school-wide food drive to support the White Hall Food Pantry, and thanks to the amazing generosity of our students and staff, we collected 1,006 items for families in need across Jefferson County! To make things fun, WHMS hosted the Turkey King & Turkey Queen competition:
Turkey King: Khaiden Hayes
Turkey Queen: Rayden Cheek
Congratulations to both for going above and beyond!
Students also visited the food pantry to learn about its daily operations and helped clean, organize, and prepare bags for local families. We’re so proud of our FCCLA members and the entire WHMS family for making a difference. Students are already excited to volunteer again in the spring!

Fifth graders at Taylor Elementary played a lively game of “Eat or Be Eaten” to explore how matter moves through an ecosystem. Students learned what different consumers eat and used that knowledge to build their own food chains. A fun, hands-on way to bring science to life in Mrs. Rongey’s class!

Mrs. Hulse’s second graders at Moody turned into smart shoppers today! They each had a $25 budget to “buy” their Thanksgiving dinner and had to choose at least six items. It was so fun watching them stretch their dollars, compare prices, and plan out their meals. They took their shopping roles seriously and had a great time learning real-world math skills!

Gandy also celebrated the 67th day of school , 6-7 style! Students found 67 bulldogs hidden around the building to complete a number chart, enjoyed an extra “6 to 7” minutes of recess, read 67 words, raced through math activities to get to 67, and spotted all of their teachers wearing special 6-7 shirts. It was another 6-7 celebration… and no, we still don’t know what 6-7 really means, but the kids sure had fun anyway! To top it off, teachers were treated to a well-earned snack day after all the excitement.

Mrs. Alexander’s first graders celebrated the 67th day of school with a full day of fun. Students made festive hats and even challenged themselves to see how many words they could write in 67 seconds. And if you’re wondering what “67” really means… we don’t know either, but the kids loved every minute of it!
