Students from Crawfordville Elementary, Medart Elementary, and Wakulla High joined Mrs. Sharon Scherbarth Simmons, their Teacher of Students with Visual Impairments, and our incredible ESE team, including some very special moms , to celebrate and spread awareness about White Cane Safety Day
The group practiced white cane and orientation skills around Hudson Park, enjoyed lunch and sweet treats at Dairy Queen, and even shared the experience with a visiting FSU student preparing to become a future TVI!
Days like this highlight the heart of our ESE program—helping every student build confidence, independence, and joy in learning. ❤️

This month, we celebrate our incredible Wakulla Special Olympics athletes and unified partners who recently competed in Flag Football and Pickleball at the Regional Games! Each athlete held fast to the Special Olympics oath —
“Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt.”
Wakulla proudly supports Special Olympics programs year-round, including Pickleball, Flag Football, Bocce, Track and Field, and Bowling, with hopes to add Cornhole soon! These opportunities wouldn’t be possible without our dedicated coaches, volunteers, and unified partners who help make inclusion and sportsmanship thrive in our schools and community.
Through Unified Champion Schools, students across Wakulla learn, train, and grow together — showing that when we include, we all win. 💙

This October, our wellness focus is on Bone Health with a delicious twist!
In partnership with Sodexo, WCS Lunchrooms across the district are serving up Pumpkin Penne Alfredo this Wednesday as part of our Bite Science series.
With Bite Science, there’s science in every bite — from how we taste and smell to how the food we eat fuels our bodies. Pumpkin Penne Alfredo is rich in calcium and vitamin D–boosting nutrients that help build and maintain strong bones.
👻 We hope our students will dig in, learn, and make your bones spooky strong!

New Statewide Health Initiative
During the 2025 legislative session, Florida Statute 381.992 established the Type 1 Diabetes Early Detection Program.
The Florida Department of Health, in collaboration with Florida school districts, has developed materials to help parents and guardians learn about the early detection of Type 1 diabetes.
👉 These materials are especially for families with children in Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 1st Grade and are now available online.
📄 Check out the Diabetes Early Detection Program >>https://5il.co/3qbx8 or Visit FL Department of Health Diabetes Website
We encourage parents and guardians to review these resources and stay informed.
Wakulla County Schools is proud to recognize our Teachers of the Month and Employee of the Month:
🍎 Sandra Maddi – Wakulla High School Teacher of the Month
🍎 Quenesia Dixon – Shadeville Elementary Teacher of the Month

Last week, we celebrated the expansion of the Guardian Program. This week, we’re proud to share another big step forward: every WCS teacher and staff member will now wear a CENTEGIX CrisisAlert badge—a powerful tool that instantly calls for help in any emergency.
For Wakulla County Schools, safety isn’t just a requirement—it’s personal. By combining technology, training, and teamwork with our local emergency services, we’re giving families peace of mind every single day.
