The Walton Central School District community went to the polls Tuesday and voted to pass the district’s capital project.

The $8,214,000 project covers needed repairs to the district’s buildings and grounds, including replacing aging roofing, and a new parking lot at the middle/high school; as well as flood mitigation at Townsend Elementary. The project also includes work on the infrastructure of the buildings, as well as upgrades for increased energy savings.

Several current and former Walton CSD FFA members earned state proficiency awards. The awards are based on supervised agriculture experiences (SAE).

The experiences are either entrepreneur projects, or placements, and students do these outside of school. To apply for the awards, students needed to fill out a detailed and lengthy application, which demonstrated what they did, what they learned, as well as an income vs. expense sheet, and goals they had and if they met them.

Students in Jodie Day’s class learned about the structure and function of their skulls during a recent mini-lesson.

In the activity “my paper skull,” students combine science and art as they examine their own heads and make discoveries about their skull.
