Seventh graders have been growing lettuce in Walton CSD’s new hydroponics system. Recently, Josh Clifford harvested some of the lettuce and took it to the cafeteria for everyone to enjoy.

Good luck to the Walton/Downsville boys and girls soccer teams as they compete in the Section Four Class C tournaments starting this week!
The boys team hosts Tioga at 3:30 p.m. today (at Downsville), and the girls team visits Southern Cayuga at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, October 18.
Students in Maria Catalano’s ELA class investigated a crime scene as they prepared for a unit on where they will be reading The Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe.
The class collected evidence from the crime scene, dusted for fingerprints, and tested for blood to create a hypothesis about what might have happened. They will then compare what they found at this crime scene to what happened in the Tell Tale Heart.
The idea behind this activity was for the students to look at details and concrete evidence that is presented in a text.
