During the week of April 7th, juniors and seniors who owe money to the school

receive/purchase prom tickets until their balance is paid.
If you have any questions concerning the monies owed please contact Assistant
Principal Tucci at the above number.
Drinking & Driving Docu-Drama
Contact: Nurse Linda (833-3300 ext. 3324)
The Drinking and Driving Docu-Drama is a mock alcohol-related traffic crash
which depicts the realities and consequences of a drinking involved motor
vehicle crash. The Docu-Drama utilizes all facets of the emergency response
community which respond to the “mock” or “staged” crash. In addition to the
staged program, students are given the opportunity to discuss the program in a
follow-up session. The purpose of the Docu-Drama is to give young people a
close-up look at the ugly truth that goes along with most DWI crashes.
The Docu-Drama is a 2-hour educational program consisting of two components:
(1) a mock vehicle crash and (2) a follow-up. The program is staged at high
schools and/or colleges/universities. Students from the school play the parts of
the injured and fatal victims of the crash. Police, fire, ambulance, and other
emergency responders are summoned to the mock crash as the scene is played
out, and perform their duties as they would in a real life situation.
The students, who view the crash scene and the work of the emergency
responders, listen to brief presentations by an emergency room physician and a
law enforcement office following the mock crash. Then students will return to
class for the follow-up session. This session, probably the most important part
of the program, allows the students the opportunity to discuss their feelings
about the Docu-Drama, their attitudes about drinking and driving, and to learn
more about the issue of drinking and driving and the laws.
This Docu-Drama will be present at FWBHS on Thursday, April 23rd, 2015 at
8:00am and is only for juniors and seniors.
Thank you,
Nurse Linda

THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE
Contact: C. Whittaker (833-3300 ext. 1814 or
WhittakerC@mail.okaloosa.k12.fl.us)
CAN YOU SPELL I-R-R-E-S-I-S-T-A-B-L-E?
The award-winning Fort Walton Beach High School Theatre Department
presents THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE, April 16-18 at
7:00pm, and April 19, at 2:00pm, at Fort Walton Beach High School. Tickets are
$10 general admission and are available at the school office, from cast
members, or at the door.
After receiving favorable reviews and three Drama Desk Awards, THE 25th
ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE opened on Broadway in 2005 and
received the Tony Award for Best Book of a Musical along with several
nominations including Best Original Score and Best Musical.
For six young people, the spelling bee is the pinnacle of their middle school
career. THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE follows the story
of six kids in the throes of puberty who are overseen by grown-ups who barely
managed to escape childhood themselves. A hilarious tale of overachievers’
angst, the production chronicles the experience of adolescent outsiders vying
for the spelling championship of a lifetime. This quirky yet charming show even
includes audience spellers, guaranteeing a different show every time. William
Barfee (Logan Collins) is saddled with a chronic sinus condition, and has a
magic foot, Marcy Park (Azhia/Ariana Ellis) is the product of a tiger mom who
has made learning a joyless job, Logan Schwartzandgrubenierre (Sydney
Whittaker)has a lisp and two highly competitive dads, Leaf Coneybear (Derek
Raynaud) has home schooling hippie parents who don’t think he’s very smart;
Chip Tolentino (Cameron Turner) is the cocky incumbent winner who is defeated
by the perils of puberty, and Olive Ostrovsky (Lauren Abel) just wants her out of
touch parents to be present and proud of her. The bee is presided over by
former champ Rona Lisa Peretti (Rio Caldevilla) and Vice Principal Panch
(Jimmy Pierce) along with comfort counselor Mitch Mahoney (Jordan
Geohagan), a parolee completing his community service.
Complete with honest and heartfelt songs such as “My Friend, The Dictionary,”
“Woe is Me,” “Pandemonium,” and “I’m Not That Smart” these young outsiders
learn that life isn’t fair, winning isn't everything and that losing doesn't make you
a loser.
This production of THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE is rated
PG-13 for frank talk of puberty, so parental discretion is advised. This
performance is meant for high-school ages and up.
For more information, contact the drama office at 850-833-3300 x1819, or

Prom is Saturday, April 25, 2015, from 8:00pm – Midnight, at The Bayview Club
on Eglin Air Force Base.
Dress is formal. Students will not be admitted to the Prom if not appropriately
dressed.
Seniors have received their Prom Invitation in WAVE. If a senior did not get an
invitation, please see Mrs. Lemasters in the Guidance Office. This invitation is
NOT a ticket – Seniors will still need to pick up a complimentary ticket during
their lunch the week of April 13th – 17th.

Seniors will receive one complimentary ticket and will be required to purchase a
ticket for their date if the student is not a senior at FWBHS. No tickets can be
sold after the end of school on Friday, April 17th, as we need to provide Eglin Air
Force Base with a complete list of attendees for the gate.
We will provide a list of attendees to the Main Gate of Eglin Air Force Base.
Everyone on that list will need to show a photo ID. Students who rent a
limousine/other transportation need to verify that their car can get on base.
Most Limo companies in the area have a standing approval because they have to
make pick-ups and drop-offs on base regularly, but students should still ask to
make sure.
If one of our students wants to bring a date who does not attend our school, the
date must be old enough to attend high school, but not older than 20 and must
be approved by the Administration. If the date lives out of Okaloosa County, our
student must pick up a form and get it to the date’s school and ask that school to
fax it back to us. Forms are available starting Monday, March 30th. We must
have the form back by 2:15pm on Friday, April 17th in order to approve the date
attending the Prom.
Students, whose date attends an Okaloosa school, must pick up and complete a
form. The form is due to Attendance no later than 2:15pm on Friday, April 17th.
APPROVAL IS NOT AUTOMATIC! The student will be notified if the date is not
approved.
If the date is not approved, the student will not be able to purchase a ticket.
Please do not purchase dresses, rent tuxedoes, or line up a limo unless the date
has been approved because if the date is not approved, he/she will not be
attending the Prom.
Both forms are available in the Attendance Office starting Monday, March 30th.
