How about that Chiefland High HoCo??

The Chiefland Watermelon Royalty had a wonderful time celebrating hometown traditions, school spirit, and the community that makes Chiefland so special!

The Chiefland Watermelon Teen Queen and Princess enjoyed being part of the homecoming festivities including Teen Queen Rori Florance participating as Barbie on her class float and our own Princess Savannah Bastow, 2026 Chiefland Homecoming Queen Candidate!

Our beautiful Chiefland Watermelon Queen, Grace Bastow was spotted riding in the parade and attending events as our Queen and most importantly, supportive older sister.

It’s times like these that make us appreciate our small-town traditions, community pride, and a whole lot of Indian spirit! 🩵💛

Today, October 10th, is World Mental Health Day!

The Chiefland Watermelon Royalty wants to remind everyone that just like watermelons, we all come in different shapes and sizes, and what’s on the inside matters most! 🍉

Mental health is just as important as physical health, and no one should ever feel ashamed of needing a little extra support.

💚 Be kind! You never know what someone is going through.

🍉 Check on your friends, family, and neighbors.

🩷 Remember that it’s okay to ask for help.

👑 Wear your invisible crown proudly, even on the hard days!

You don’t have to be perfect to be worthy of love, kindness, and support.

From our watermelon family to yours, remember to spread kindness, plant seeds of hope, and always look out for one another!

With love,
Chiefland Watermelon Royalty 👑🍉

🍉👑 A Coat of Many Colors & a Day Full of Smiles! 📚💕

In celebration of Dolly Parton Day on September 25, our Chiefland Watermelon Royalty had the sweetest time visiting Old Town Elementary School to share the joy of reading with students!

Our royalty read Dolly Parton’s Coat of Many Colors, to honor the late Dolly Parton, and to help spread her joy of reading and message of kindness.

A special thank you to Old Town Elementary School for welcoming our Chiefland Watermelon Royalty and allowing them to be part of such a meaningful day. We loved spending time with your students and encouraging the next generation of readers!
