Honoring History and Heroes
Ms. Newell’s U.S. History students have been diving into World War II—studying key battles and the courage of those who fought in them. To help organize their learning for EOC preparation, students created interactive foldables highlighting major events and turning points of the war.
They also reflected on the importance of our veterans, recognizing that the freedoms we enjoy today exist because of the bravery and sacrifices of these men and women. ❤️🤍💙

🌟 Day 2 of the National FFA Convention! 🌟
FFA members started the day with the Opening Session, where the National FFA Officers officially opened the convention, and they heard an inspiring keynote from A’ric Jackson, who encouraged members to lead with purpose and confidence. 💙💛
In the afternoon, they toured Tuttle Orchards in Greenfield, Indiana — a fourth-generation family farm that’s been serving the community for over 90 years. 🍎 The Tuttles grow over 30 varieties of apples across 45 acres of orchards. Students learned about the apple growing cycle, from bloom to harvest, and how the orchard markets its apples directly to consumers through their on-site farm market, cider mill, and U-pick experiences.
It was a hands-on lesson in how innovation, diversification, and community connection keep family farms like Tuttle’s successful for generations. 🌾🍏

The Albany fair hosted our FFA Chapters from NE, ESMS, & TCHS as they competed in various events, including livestock judging, vet science, wildlife, floriculture, and FFA creed. Congratulations to our top individuals and winning teams on their impressive achievements and representation of Tift County! 🌟🥇#4theT
🌟 FFA members started their first morning at the National FFA Convention by exploring the expo and watching some incredible LDE competitions! 💙💛 That afternoon, they visited the Indianapolis Zoo for ZooBoo 🎃🐯 — learning about animal care, conservation, and the importance of protecting wildlife while enjoying the fall fun. They ended the day at Newfields Harvest Nights, where they explored the gardens and learned about plant varieties, landscape design, and the creativity behind the pumpkin displays. 🍂🎃 Such a great day combining fun and learning! 🌿✨

🔥 Work-Based Learning in Action! 🔥
Today, our Work-Based Learning Coordinators hosted Hope EMS and the Tifton Fire Department for a recruitment and information day! Students learned about real pathways to becoming a Firefighter or EMT/EMR and how they can earn industry certifications at no cost while still in high school.
Two former students who completed the program returned to share their experiences, discuss training, and inspire others to pursue careers in emergency services. Hearing directly from students who have gone through the program made a powerful impact—proof that hands-on learning opens doors to high-demand careers.
A huge thank you to Mrs. Thorne and Mr. Smith for coordinating this opportunity and for continually advocating for our students. Because of your work, our Blue Devils are gaining valuable skills, certifications, and a head start in the workforce. 💙🚒🚑

✨The ROTC program celebrated Veterans Day by engaging with all branches of the military during Golden Corral's Military Appreciation Night. Eight cadets participated in this event and had the opportunity to speak with veterans and listen to some incredible "war stories." ✨
The Veterans interviewed by the cadets will be honored during our daily "In Honor Ceremony," held during class. Each day, per block, we read a biography of a service member or first responder, then complete 25 push-ups to honor that individual. 🇺🇸
