It has been a soothing fall break for the Water Valley High students, teachers, and staff. This was a well-needed break for many members of the school community. Fall break allows teachers to reset their classrooms with fall decorations that are fitting for the time and gather lesson plans, and it gives students a chance to reset from testing and have a fresh start with a positive mindset this week!
The Blue Devils varsity football team gained another victory on the untraditional Thursday night against the Ms Palmer Dragons. Despite being on fall break, the football team practiced long hours during the week to ensure a win. Their dedication paid off with a final triumphing score of 32-30!
To mentally prepare the boys for game day, Head Coach Clint Faust has prioritized having a vocally positive speaker every Thursday before game day to encourage the team. With each speaker comes a new topic! Due to the Regional game this past week being on a Thursday night, speaker Pastor Gary Walton instilled that though the team is still making further adjustments, they still have the opportunity to overcome the difficulties.
Walton’s main message he left the boys with is “Difficult but not impossible.”
This is a good reminder for the team they have been preparing for district games and focusing on winning the division. Be sure to clear your schedules for this Friday’s football game! This will be senior night, a celebration for all senior football, cheer, and band members. Senior night will before the game, kickoff is scheduled at 7 p.m.

Water Valley students Alyssa Williams, Addy Douglas, and Jordan Weir entered their artwork in the Art Crawl!
Aside from sports, the town hosted the Annual Water Valley Art Crawl, a tradition in the city that grants unseen artists the opportunity to showcase and sell their finest art pieces and paintings. Saturday’s Art Crawl had many attractions, such as murals, vendors, and fun activities for youth and adults. It is not only an excellent way for local artists to advertise their art, but also an outlet for many students to preview and promote their very own art made right inside Water Valley High.
The Interact Club is already starting their local projects off strong! The students within the club are putting together a splendid Blue Devil gift basket to be raffled off on November 11. The Blue Devil gift basket will include lots of Water Valley/Blue Devil apparel!
All the proceeds will go towards purchasing pole banners for the school grounds. Show your support to Water Valley Interact Club and purchase a $5 ticket for a chance to win the raffle.!
Nonetheless, this fall break was spent enjoying the cool weather, a little sports action, marvelous artwork, and a refreshing break. With clear minds and a fall-decorated atmosphere, students will surely be happy to return to their Blue Devil activities. This was your weekly update, NOT so within the walls of the Blue and White!
