March is Florida Archaeology Month sponsored by the Florida Anthropological Society and its partners that protect archaeological sites throughout the state. Each year the Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge hosts walks at its Shell Mound site made famous by the spectacular collection of pottery in Bradenton’s South Florida Museum.
The last of two Ranger-led walks at Shell Mound is 10 a.m. March 25. Meet the Ranger in the small parking area next to the Shell Mound Trailhead to learn the history of the mound, its native people and native plants.

The fourth grade classes at Chiefland Elementary School rallied Monday afternoon as their studies for the writing skills portion of the FCAT came to an end. 

 The first industry certifications were recently awarded to four students in the new Welding Program at Chiefland High School.  The students earned their AWS D 1.1 Structural Welding Code-Steel certification and one student earned both the D 1.1 and 1.2 certifications.  The students were tested by WELDTEST Services and are under the instruction of Steve Senters.
