Beulah Middle School FFA members created over 75 dog toys Tuesday using old t-shirts.
The dog toys will be donated to A Place of Hope Small Dog Rescue in Escambia County.
Beulah Middle FFA Advisor Leanne Jenkins said the project started when officer Cheyenne Armstrong became proficient in making the dog toys from YouTube.
“Students brought old t-shirts in today and created the toys,” Jenkins said Tuesday. “Honestly, it’s the best FFA meeting we have had in seven years. They were so excited to serve!”

Tate High Students Take Part In See You At The Pole
September 27, 2024
Tate High School was among the area schools where students gathered together this week for the See You at the Pole event.
Students gathered as school began to pray in the non-denominational event. See You at the Pole is a national student-initiated, student organized, and student-led event. Students prayed for their school, friends, teachers, government, and the nation.
The national verse this year was “I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them.” [1 Timothy 2:1 (NLT).]
At Tate High, junior Nick Kontek welcomed everyone and prayed for students all over the world who have little to no religious freedom. Senior Blakely Campbell prayed for the administration and teachers and for God’s blessing and wisdom over those who lead. Sophomore Addie Manning prayed for all Tate students and family. In between each student-led prayer all students were given the opportunity to pray individually. Students and faculty also divided into smaller groups and prayed for one another.
At Tate High School See You at the Pole was sponsored by First Priority.

Pictured: The Harvest Moon (And What Is It?)
September 20, 2024
A harvest moon was over West Florida High School Thursday night as the Jaguars fell to the Tate Aggies.
The moon was as waning gibbous phase, with 97% illuminated. The full moon was Wednesday night.
The harvest moon was actually its brightest just afternoon sunset on Tuesday, and it was also a supermoon.
According to The Old Farmer’s Almanac, “The full Moon that happens nearest to the fall equinox (September 22 or 23) always takes on the name “Harvest Moon.” Unlike other full Moons, this full Moon rises at nearly the same time—around sunset—for several evenings in a row, giving farmers several extra evenings of moonlight and allowing them to finish their harvests before the frosts of fall arrive.” This year, the fall equinox and the first day of fall is Sunday, September 22.
We snapped the photo above quickly without the aid of a tripod. (Canon R6 with a Canon f/2.8 70-200mm if you are curious about that sort of thing). We don’t know the identity of the helicopter pictured; it did not appear on an online flight tracker.
