Members of Walton CSD’s music department recently visited Townsend Elementary. The high school band, orchestra, and chorus put on a small concert for the younger students, as well as explaining their instruments and what they do. This allows the elementary students to see what in music they might be interested in being part of as they get older.

Townsend Elementary second graders were recently visited by Jenine Osbon with W.I.D.E. She presented on Harriet Tubman, for Women’s History Month, as well as finishing Black History Month in February.
First, she read a book about Tubman’s life, and then did a presentation on quilt codes, which were used by slaves finding their way to freedom via the underground railroad. Students then had the opportunity to build a quilt square to represent one of many codes they learned about.

Hanford Mills recently visited Townsend Elementary’s second graders and presented a program on “sharing water.” The students learned how different professions use water, as well as learning ways we can all work together to share this precious resource. Students explored how water in their community, region, and the state is a shared resource.
Thank you, Hanford Mills Museum, for this great educational experience!
