The Bobcat Agriculture classes have been busy transforming the school greenhouse into a vibrant space filled with a variety of flowers, herbs, vegetables, and ferns. Students in the Horticulture course have dedicated time to researching the needs, histories, and care of each plant they’re growing. For 10th grader, Jesten Thomas, the most rewarding part of the greenhouse experience is witnessing the plants evolve over time. He enjoys seeing the growth and changes with every visit, appreciating how their hard work is reflected in the plants’ progress. The students are excited to continue exploring the world of horticulture, eager to expand their knowledge and see the continued growth of their projects in the greenhouse.

Webster County Elementary Students Visit the Historic Little White House

On November 4, 2024, students from Webster County Elementary School in grades 3 through 5 took an educational trip to the historic Little White House located in Warm Springs, Georgia. This visit allowed students to step back in time and learn about the personal life and legacy of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

The Little White House, famously known as President Roosevelt’s retreat during his time in office, provided an immersive history lesson.

Teachers and guides shared stories about his determination and leadership, inspiring the young visitors with the historical significance of the site.

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,

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.
