5^th Graders Exploring Volume 

Mrs. Pamela Alridge’s fifth-grade math students at Webster County Schools are diving into the concept of volume. Through a variety of hands-on activities, the students are developing a deeper understanding of how to measure volume. Using manipulatives like unit cubes, they are able to build and calculate the volume of rectangular prisms, making the learning process both interactive and engaging. These activities help the students grasp key mathematical concepts in a fun and practical way, while improving their problem-solving skills.

These hands-on activities provide a creative and interactive approach to understanding programming logic, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills without relying on digital devices.

Investing in Young Leadership: Supporting Yatzibeth's Journey with FBLA

Dear Webster County Family,

On behalf of Webster County High School’s first FBLA state officer, I am writing to you today with great excitement and a request for your support. Yatzibeth Mejia-Lopez, a sophomore, has the incredible honor of serving as the Southwest Region State Vice President for the Georgia Future Business Leaders of America. This is a significant accomplishment, not only for her personally, but also for our FBLA chapter at Webster County High School. She is not only the first student from our school to hold this prestigious position at the state level but also the first member from Webster County High School to hold a region office, Region 6 President.

As a state officer, she is committed to leading and inspiring her fellow FBLA members across Georgia. Throughout the year, she will be attending mandatory conferences, workshops, and training sessions, representing our state chapter and participating in activities that promote business education, leadership development, and career exploration for all students. These events will take place throughout Georgia and potentially across the country, and her estimated travel expenses from April 2024 to July 2025 are approximately $13,000.

While our dedicated FBLA chapter at Webster County High School will be holding fundraising events, these efforts alone may not be enough to cover the entirety of these expenses. This is where your generous support comes in.

A contribution to aid this young leader would be greatly appreciated and will directly contribute to her ability to fulfill her responsibilities as a state FBLA officer. Your investment will not only support her personal growth and leadership development, but it will also empower her to serve and inspire other students across Georgia.

Through FBLA, she has gained invaluable skills in communication, teamwork, and public speaking. She is passionate about helping others discover their potential and believe that FBLA provides a platform for students to develop the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the future.

Thank you for taking the time to read our letter. For any questions or additional information, you can reach me at mbaker@webster.k12.ga.us.

With sincere gratitude,

Michael Baker

Webster County High School Juniors Master Soft Skills Through Role Play

In an innovative approach to teaching, Mr. Baker’s business communication class at Webster County High School has been engaging in role-playing exercises to develop essential soft skills. These high school juniors are stepping into various business scenarios such as conflict resolution. By simulating real-world situations, students are not only learning the theoretical aspects of communication but also practicing how to apply these skills effectively in a professional environment. Mr. Baker believes that this hands-on method helps students build confidence and prepares them for future careers.
