It is finally spring break which means there is only nine weeks left until the end of the school year. I just know that these final weeks will go by extremely fast once we return to class. It will not be long before it’s summer, but until then Water Valley High School students will continue to fill their schedules with spring events!
The Interact Rotary Club is hosting their spring service project on March 18. Members of the club decided to host a “Library Day for Littles” as this semester’s project. The Library Day will take place on March 18 at Blackmur Memorial Library from 10 to 11 a.m. for all preschool and elementary age kids. The event will be full of reading, music, and crafts. The Interact Club hopes to see you there for a free morning of fun!
On March 10, members of the senior class led groups of junior high students through different rooms to hear about all sorts of career paths from professionals in multiple fields. Students got to hear from individuals in cosmetology, law enforcement, sports broadcasting, accounting, engineering and more. High school counselor Jonathan Barnes organizes career day each year for the junior high students. This event is a great way to allow students to view a wide range of career paths and see if any spark their interest. It also allows them to speak with individuals in the field and ask any questions about their professions.
In sports news, the Blue Devil baseball team had a busy week! The boys took on Kossuth on March 7 at home, defeating the Aggies with a final score of three to two. The team then traveled to Kossuth on March 10, resulting in a loss.
The Blue Devils also took on the Bruce Trojans at home on March 11. The boys won with a final score of five to four. Baseball will be back in action on March 18 at home against Eupora. Junior Varsity will begin at noon and Varsity will follow after at 2 p.m.

The ladies then traveled to Calhoun City on March 7, losing 11 to one. The team also lost to Bruce on March 9. On March 10th, the girls defeated Winona on the road.

The girls golf team played at Whisper Lake Country Club in Madison on March 9. The Girls placed fourth overall competing against North West Rankin, St Andrews, Madison Central, Germantown, Kirk Academy and Oak Hill Academy. The girls golf team is working hard to improve their game and prepare for the district tournament.
The archery team competed on March 7 at home against Lafayette and Regents. The Blue Devils defeated both teams with a team score of 3,295. The team also competed at Lafayette on March 9, beating the Commodores with a team total of 3,254. The Archery team has a few more matches before the North Half Qualifier, which is scheduled at Lafayette on April 4 and 5.
It is quite evident that students needed a break after this past week and all of its busyness. This week off will give WVHS students time to rest and regroup in order to finish this school year out strong! Only nine more weeks to go!
Members of the Senior Class led groups of Junior High students around to hear presentations from professionals on career day.
