Throughout the first semester of personal health and safety, students became certified through the American Red Cross in CPR, AED, and first aid. At the end of the semester, the students had the opportunity to practice mock emergency scenarios.
Students walked around the building until stumbling upon an emergency and would need to provide care. One student would take the lead and begin the initial first aid care, and another student is sent to get the AED and first-aid kits. A third student was sent to call 911 (school nurses served as mock dispatchers) and, lastly, another student recorded what happens on a rubric and provides any prompts/feedback to the lead student.
A special thank you to teachers and students who helped make it possible. Some of the teachers and their “injuries” were Mrs. Fassler (art supply item stuck in her arm), Mrs. Hoffmeister (fallen and had a hurt baby), Mrs. Rosa (choking), and Mr. Kane (allergic reaction).
This aspect of the class helps students have a good perspective and allows them to reflect on why their certification is important and why it can be life-saving. Great job by all involved!

Music on the Delaware recently sponsored a music workshop for Walton CSD high school band students.
Three performers from around the area joined together to play for the students. Led by Yolanda Bush, the trio talked about and then played music and rhythms from Trinidad to early American to the blues. The others in the trip were Evan Jangles on the double bass, and Wyatt Ambrose on guitar. Bush played the cajon and sang, with much of her focus about music that Africans brought with them and how that influenced music through the different genres throughout the years.
Students were involved in clapping rhythms with the trio, and were engaged in the music being shared. Walton CSD band director Raymond Bartlett noted it was a nice musical culmination to Black History Month at Walton.
