This year’s construction class once again built a shed as their main project. Students build a model shed, as well as worked on the real shed. The model was built from the plans for the actual shed, scaled to 3/4 of an inch equaling one foot.
Many students felt the model was more difficult to build because it was more precise and required more patience. When the model shed was finished, some students also had the chance to turn a baseball bat on the wood lathe, or worked on other projects.
The recipient of the shed paid for all materials, which gave the students the opportunity to build the real shed.
Pictured: Top (on roof from left): Westin Torres, Cayden Garone, Braxton Wood, Nolan Evans, and Liam Pettit. Standing (on ladder from left): Chayce Albanese and Martin Salimbagon. Standing (on ground from left): Mitchell Johnson, Jordan Tolbert, Ryan Somers, Timothy Clinton, Damien Tolbert, and Mr Salvia. Missing: Logan Gregory Jr.

Throughout the school year, students in Walton CSD’s high school PE classes can earn the Sportsmanship Award. These students exemplify stepping outside their comfort zones, trying new skills, not giving up, being helpful to everyone, and who can show fair, generous, and encouragement toward themselves and peers.
Each year, students who earn this award are invited to a field trip that includes an experience of lifelong physical activity. This year, the students went bowling at Walton Lanes. Students had the chance to show skills in a different atmosphere, and were challenged in a fun way.
The students who earned the award during the 2025-26 school year were: osh Clifford, Rilynn Daye, Russell Finn, Mackenzie Roach, Paige LeBarge, Bentley Wickham, Ethan Copeland, Lauren Sloan-Boice, Liam Kane, Jacob Constable, TJ Catalano, Alexa Scofield, Marco Possemato, Marcus Marano, Kennedy Williams, Kamren Craig and Isis Guervaz.
Congratulations!

REMINDER: The Delaware Valley Hospital Medical Neighborhood construction project is ongoing. This work continues to bring significant increases in vehicle movement, heavy equipment, and other potentially hazardous activity throughout the hospital parking areas.
Historically, many students have used the hospital lot as a shortcut when walking to and from the school. However, because of construction activity, all through traffic and pedestrian access through the parking lots is no longer permitted to ensure the safety of students, staff, patients, and construction crews.
Though information has been shared previously, some students have still been seen walking through and accessing the lots.
As a strong community partner with DVH, and in an effort to support their request and ensure our Walton students are walking safely to and from school, please be sure to refrain from using their parking lots.

Congratulations to the March 2026 Students of the Month for the middle school!
The trait of the month was: Choices. Decisions between right and wrong are usually the most difficult for children to choose. We encourage all students to ask themselves, is this a good choice or a bad choice, and let that determine their overall decision.
