What ’sPopping?!

The first day of Spring is called Vernal Equinox. The Earth’s axis tilts towards the sun. William Willet was the architect of daylight savings time. Our students’ favorite things about spring are the weather, the flowers, and the sports!

Whatley Words of Wisdom:

Have any of you noticed the Jonquils, the beautiful yellow flowers, growing?

These flowers symbolize forgiveness and a desire for affection to be reciprocated. They also symbolize creativity, success, rebirth, and renewal. Jonquils also let me know the crappie are about to spawn!!!!!! So, let's try to be like Jonquils and start over. Try to be positive and have fun. It sure is fun out in the sun catching crappie in the Spring!!!

I am super proud of the students who did the presenting during our CTE showcase. They did a fabulous job! I also want to thank Mrs. Tatom, Mrs. VanNorman, Mrs Smith, and Mr Plyler for their job of leading these clubs I also want to brag about our journalism class that puts the paper out each time Mrs Dowell and her team do a fantastic job We have several more exciting things coming up on our campus during the next several months It's awesome to be a Spring Hill Bear!
