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.

Stop the presses! The Disney film turned Tony-winning Broadway hit inspires everyone to fight for what’s right and seize the day!
The Walton Central School District music department is carrying the banner on stage with Disney’s Newsies! Show times are 7 p.m. Friday, March 27, and Saturday, March 28. A senior show – which is free for senior citizens, is scheduled for 6 p.m. Thursday, March 26.
All shows are at the Walton CSD auditorium. Tickets for the shows on Friday and Saturday are $8 for adults and $6 for students. If you purchase tickets in advance (available at Walton Music House and the Walton CSD high school office), prices are $7 for adults and $5 for students.
The production features senior Eli Williams in the role of Jack, senior Maddox Little as Davey, and senior Kahrin Vesterfelt as Katherine Plumber.
Inspired by a true story, Newsies tells the tale of Jack Kelly, the charismatic leader of a group of teenage newsies, who take a David vs. Goliath stand against the newspaper giants of the era. They fight to shine a light on the unfair working conditions for thousands of children across New York City. Set in turn-of-the century New York City, Jack rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions and fight for what's right!
Based on the 1992 motion picture, Newsies features a Tony Award-winning score by Alan Menken (Little Shop of Horrors, Sister Act) and Jack Feldman, and a book by Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein (Kinky Boots). Featuring the now classic songs “Carrying the Banner,” “Seize the Day,” and “Santa Fe,” Newsies is packed with non-stop thrills, songs, dances and a timeless message, perfect for the whole family and every audience.
Thank you for joining us to watch our Walton CSD cast and crew perform a musical to remember!

Walton CSD junior Grace Walley made history Friday afternoon, becoming the first indoor track and field athlete to win a state championship for Walton CSD.
Grace earned the shot put championship, with a top distance of 39 feet, 11.75 inches. She topped 39 feet in three of her six attempts at the NYSPHSAA indoor track and field championships at the Ocean Breeze Track and Field Facility on Staten Island.
Not only is Grace the first athlete to win an indoor track and field championship for the school, she's the first girl indoor or outdoor to win a state title. She's also only the second athlete to win a state championship, following Gregg Sawdy's outdoor state title in the shot put (56-3) in 1992.
What a great achievement! Way to go, Grace!
Registration runs from March 2-6. You can stop in at Townsend Elementary from 8 a.m.-3 p.m. during those days.

This is Mr. Salvia’s description of his bike:
This year, my bicycle project that I decided to work on with the Transportation class, is a Worksman foldable bicycle that was rusty, but still had good potential. I liked that it was foldable, and it seemed durable. I also found out that the company that makes these bicycles is America’s oldest bicycle company, starting in 1898.
I decided for the build this year to be a restoration. I completely took the bicycle apart, cleaned everything and painted all the pieces, which took a lot of patience. This bike is a single-speed model with a coaster brake and has 20-inch wheels. I was surprised that the tires were still good. The spokes on the rims are 11-gauge, which are thicker than most spokes today.
This bike was from the 1960’s. My favorite part of the restoration was painting all of the pieces separately, then the final assembly.
We will continue with student projects over the next several weeks! Great work!
#WeAreWalton #WaltonCSD #WaltonPride
The students gained experience working with wrenches, sockets, allen keys, a mig welder, chain tool, and pedal wrench, among other items. Some students also took it to the next level, making changes to the bicycle design and setup. Each student was responsible for keeping the parts organized and clean. Mr. Salvia said the students enjoyed the project, and had a great experience.
Pictured are the students in the two classes. Over the course of the next several weeks, we will be highlighting individual students with their project, as well as a write up they each did on their project explaining their bike.
Great work by all of the students!
