As part of the Special Olympics Florida Healthy Athletes Program, we were excited to welcome Dr. Hunter Brantley and Joanna Chowdhury, Coordinator for the Special Olympics Florida Healthy Athletes Program, to Wakulla Institute in Wakulla County on Friday, October 16, to provide a Healthy Athletes Smiles dental screening for our athletes.
The Healthy Athletes Smiles program focuses on promoting good oral health and helping athletes understand the importance of maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Through these screenings, athletes have the opportunity to receive dental health education and learn tips for taking care of their smiles.
During the visit, Dr. Brantley and Ms. Chowdhury helped provide dental screenings to our athletes. Athletes also received a new toothbrush and other oral hygiene goodies in a bag to encourage healthy dental habits at home.
We are incredibly grateful to Dr. Brantley for providing these valuable dental screenings and to Ms. Chowdhury for coming out to assist with the screenings and support our athletes. Their time and dedication help Special Olympics Florida continue its mission of promoting the health, wellness, and overall well-being of our athletes.
Thank you to Dr. Brantley, Joanna, and everyone who helped make this a successful and meaningful day for our Wakulla County athletes from Riversprings Middle School and Wakulla Institute!

DISABILITY HISTORY & AWARENESS WEEKS
Awareness starts with understanding, and inclusion grows through respect.
During Florida’s Disability History and Awareness Weeks, Wakulla County Schools encourages our students, staff and community to think about the simple ways we can help create more inclusive spaces for everyone.
Treat people with dignity. Speak directly to the person. Give others the time they need to communicate. Offer help when appropriate — while also respecting independence.
Small actions can make a meaningful difference in helping every person feel seen, respected and included.
Let’s continue learning, listening and building a community where everyone belongs.

IT’S NATIONAL SCHOOL LUNCH WEEK!
Learning takes energy, and a healthy school lunch helps give students the fuel they need to focus, learn and grow. Observed since 1962, National School Lunch Week highlights the important role school meals play in supporting student health, learning and success.
Across Wakulla County Schools, we continue to see just how important that access is. During the 2025–2026 school year, participation increased by 17,784 breakfasts and 58,436 lunches — more than 76,000 additional meals served across the district.
This year, meals are available to every WCS student at no cost, helping ensure students can come to the table, get what they need and return to class ready to learn.
This National School Lunch Week, we celebrate the important connection between good nutrition, student well-being and success in the classroom

As Wakulla County Schools recognizes Disability History and Awareness Weeks, we’re proud to highlight opportunities that help every student develop their strengths, build skills and prepare for what comes next.
Students from the Legacy Café and Legacy Boutique programs recently traveled to Tallahassee to showcase and sell items they created through their programs. From handcrafted goods to freshly baked cookies, students had the opportunity to share their work with employees from the Florida Department of Education and FDLRS Miccosukee.
The experience gave students a chance to put learning into action—practicing workplace skills, interacting with customers, working as a team and experiencing the pride of seeing others value something they created.
The group also visited the Bloxham Building, making the day another meaningful opportunity to learn beyond the classroom.
These are the experiences that help students discover what they can do, build confidence in their abilities and prepare for greater independence after graduation.

READING MATTERS!
Reading helps students build knowledge, grow their confidence, and discover what interests them. It’s something schools and families can encourage together—one book and one conversation at a time.
In this week’s Wave 94.1 halftime address, Superintendent Rick Myhre shares a simple question every family can ask: “What are you reading?” Ask your child about a story, something they learned, or a book they’d like to try next.
Tune in at halftime to hear his message about the power of reading.

ATTENDANCE MATTERS!
As our fall attendance window begins today, we’re reminding families how much each school day has to offer. Students learn from their teachers, ask questions, work alongside classmates, and build connections that help them feel part of their school.
We know illness and emergencies happen. When students are well and able to attend, being at school regularly helps them make the most of those opportunities.
Thank you, families, for making school a priority. A good education begins with showing up!
