During the awards portion of the dinner, the Board of Education also gave out its distinguished Service Award. BOE President Ronda Williams introduced winner Corey Phraner, who serves as the superintendent’s secretary and district clerk. She has been with the district for 10 years. 

Following that award, many Walton students were honored for academic achievement for the 2018-19 school year. Students were recognized in all departments, including science, English/language, social studies, business, agriculture/technology, health/home and career/physical education, art, and music. Superintendent Awards were also handed out. The list of those recognized is below. 

 

The museum received grant funding from the Catskill Watershed Corporation to offer free UPK-8 classroom outreach programs.

 

The classes were with Marcia Albrecht’s US history classes, and Danielle Cole’s English 11 classes. The grant, which was received by Albrecht, covered the cost of the tickets, bringing the price down to $10. A second grant, secured by Walton Director of Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment Jane O’Shea, offset that cost as well as the transportation costs. 

In honor of Veterans Day, third graders at Walton Central School District had the chance to interview a panel of local veterans this past Friday.

 

The veterans sat in the front of the cafeteria, and answered the questions asked by a handful of students. This is the first time the event has been held and the hope is to continue it yearly.
