For the 19th consecutive year, the Walton Central School District teamed with Delaware Opportunities for a gift drive to help area children. This year, the drive covered 16 families and 30 children.
The National Honor Society organized and sponsored the drive this year, and gifts were donated by students and numerous faculty and staff members from the elementary, middle, and high schools. The FFA played a major part in the drive as well, making 40 blankets, 32 of which went to Delaware Opportunities. The remaining 8 will be donated to the A.O. Fox Nursing Home.
A list of families is given to the school ahead of time, though identities are not known. Gifts remain in the county, however. The only information given to the school is age, gender, and sizes for each child, as well as a list of wanted items or interests.
