For the 21st consecutive year, the WaltonCentral School District teamed with Delaware Opportunities for a gift drive to help area children. This year, the drive covered 42 children throughout Delaware County. The National Honor Society organized and sponsored the drive this year, and gifts were donated by students and numerous faculty and staff members from the elementary, middle, and high schools. A list of families is given to the school ahead of time, though identities are not known. Gifts remain in the county, however. The only information given to the school is age, gender, and sizes for each child, as well as a list of wanted items or interests. #WeAreWalton #WaltonCSD #WaltonPride

They gained knowledge about the process of eggs hatching, and an understanding of critical elements including temperature, humidity, and ventilation that affect eggs and the hatching process. Finally, students had the opportunity to dissect an egg and identify its different parts. #WeAreWalton #WaltonCSD #WaltonPride
