During announcements Friday morning, members of Walton CSD’s GSA club spoke about Human Rights Day, which is Saturday, December 10.
Human Rights Day is observed each December 10, which is the day the United Nations General Assembly adopted, in 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The document proclaims the inalienable rights that everyone is entitled to as a human being - regardless of race, color, religion, sex, language, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. The document, which is available in more than 500 languages, is the most translated document in the world, according to the UN.
Pictured are (from left): GSA adviser Kate Hoffmeister, Aurora Siniscalchi, Phade Lindsay, Aly Siar, and adviser Ellen Nary.
As fall turns into winter and the new sports season gets underway, we would like to remind all that the Walton CSD is a supporter of good sportsmanship. We welcome our opponents, officials, and fans.
Officials are an important part of our contests, and many do it because of their love of the game. We appreciate all they do.

The annual “Let’s Talk Turkey” fundraiser was held this month, with Townsend Elementary raising $421.23 to donate to the Walton Food Bank.
Students are asked to bring in change to add to the school-wide donation bucket. The goal is to raise enough money to buy a turkey from every classroom. This year’s total equals about a 10-pound turkey from each classroom.
The money is sorted by Sidney Federal Credit Union and a check made out to the Food Bank is presented after the holiday.
Great job by Townsend students and staff!

UHS Delaware Valley Hospital sponsors a teddy bear clinic where children can bring stuffed animals and go through the hospital to show them the different rooms and areas they might need if brought in for an emergency.
The introduction is made easier as the stuffed animal is being examined and it is hoped it helps alleviate fear should they ever have to be there in case of an emergency.
This year, the third-grade class went as they missed the opportunity as second graders because of covid. In the spring, the current second-grade classes will go for this yearly event.
Areas visited included the emergency room, CT scanner, ambulatory, as well as visiting with EMS and K9 dogs from the Delaware County Sheriff’s Department.

Sixth graders in multimedia arts this quarter made wind-powered cars. The class utilized the middle school Makerspace for this project.
First, the students designed their cars in Tinkercad, an online 3D design program. From there, they 3D printed the wheels of the car, laser cut the car bodies with the district’s Glowforge machine, and then cut the sails with a Cricut maker.
Once the cars were assembled, they raced one another. William Bartlett’s car finished first, traveling a distance of 22 feet, 7 inches. Shay Johnson was second at 22 feet, 2 inches.
