The next bike in the transportation class project of creating custom bicycles comes from Logan Beardslee. His tricycle creation is called “Extend.” He said the seat post addition is his favorite part of the design, because he was able to attach it to a more comfortable seat. The bike was built using parts from three bicycles. Because of the front pedals, it has forward and reverse, as well as a 12-inch solid wheel in the front, and two solid 7-inch wheels in the back. Another nice piece of work! #WeAreWalton #WaltonCSD #WaltonPride

Here is our next group to celebrate for the Class of 2023! #WeAreWalton #WaltonCSD #WaltonPride

We continue the transportation class project of building custom bicycles, with our first student piece. This is William Neske’s bike, which he calls Harley. The handlebars are his favorite part of the bike. This was made using parts from three bicycles. The bike has coaster brakes, an 18-inch wheel in the front and a 20-inch wheel in the back. Great work! #WeAreWalton #WaltonCSD #WaltonPride

Students in Sal Salvia’s transportation class are building custom bicycles this year. They are utilizing parts from used bicycles for their own custom builds. During class, they are learning the parts of a bike, and how to take it apart and reassemble it into a new design. Tool-use safety, mig welding, metal work, and bicycle safety are also topics being covered. The assignment is to build a custom bike out of available bicycles. Over the course of the next several weeks, we will be showcasing the students as they finish their bikes. For the first, we are showing you Mr. Salvia’s “example” design. From then on out, we will be showcasing the students work. Mr. Salvia’s was made of from parts of five bicycles. He designed and fabricated it, then student William Neske took it apart, painted it, and greased all areas. The bike has a 24-inch front form, BMX handlebars, a 59-inch chain, adjustable seat post with a rim frame support, 16x2 tires, and an extended kickstand, which is Mr. Salvia’s favorite part. He calls the bike “Rusty Gold.” Keep watching our Facebook and website for more of these fantastic creations! #WeAreWalton #WaltonCSD #WaltonPride

The Walton CSD high school band, orchestra, and chorus participated in the High Note Music Festival in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Each year, the music department prepared all year to play music for high quality judges at this spring adjudication festival. This year’s adjudicators were veteran music teachers who recorded both written and spoken comments as the musicians performed. These critiques are used to help educate the students and give them instruction about how to be better musicians/performers. The chorus and orchestra, each directed by Rebekah Doig, both received a rating of excellent. The band, directed by Raymond Bartlett, received a rating of superior. Congratulations to all involved on these great performances! #WeAreWalton #WaltonCSD #WaltonPride
