Students in Sal Salvia’s manufacturing class built a six-string box guitar this year. Each student built their own pieces for their guitar.

The class started out machining the guitar neck, which was made from maple hardwood. They used the jointer and planer for this part. Then they used the table saw, radial arm saw, drill press, power sanders, and many hand tools to make all of the pieces for the guitars. A lot of patience was required for this project.

Students decided between aluminum or brass for the guitar nut, and most used a 16d nail for the bridge. Some students even started to learn how to play “happy birthday” on their guitar toward the end of the semester.

Back (from left): Kyle Schamber, Caden Scofield, Mason Finch, Zayden Haskins, Linkin Backus, Tony Catalano, Braxton Wood, Eli Kingsbury, London Gardner, and Chris Caffery.

NOTICE: Due to an unexpected electrical issue, the power went off three times at our MS/HS campus this morning. The disruption was minimal and we have resolved the issue for now and will be looking into it more. Please note, our NYSED Regents exams will continue as scheduled, unless you receive a school messenger stating that has changed.

Thank you.

Congratulations to Grace Walley, Justin Somers, and Hayden Robinson for recently reaching athletic milestones!

Walley became the ninth person in Walton school history to reach the 1,000-point club. Walley is a junior on the Walton-Downsville girls basketball team and the first to reach this mark since Jacqulyn Gransbury during the 2022-23 season.

Somers, a junior, hit the 100-win plateau for the Walton-Delaware Academy wrestling team.
The
Senior Hayden Robinson also reached the 100-win club earlier in December. Before Robinson and Somers, the last Walton wrestler to reach the mark was Noah Sovocool in 2023.

Congratulations to all three!

Students in 9th-grade ELA recently finished up reading “To Kill a Mockingbird.” As part of the finish to the book, the class used “readers theatre” to reenact the trial scene from the book. Students performed with enthusiasm and were all engaged and invested in the activity.

What a great learning experience!
