Walton Public School gets much needed library space The Huron County Board of Education has announced that Ministry and board funds have been made available to provide additional classroom space at Wal­ ton Public School. With this addi­ tion, space will be available for library, Special Education, a com­ puter lab and much needed audio visual and general storage. The Walton Public School build­ ing was erected in 1962. There have been few changes made since that time. The school houses pupils from Kindergarten to Grade 3. Many new programs have been implemented since 1962. A library facility, computer labs and Special Education opportunities are now integral parts of our school system. This new semi permanent addi­ tion to Walton Public School will ensure that the children of the school area have equal programm­ ing opportunities necessary to pre­ pare them for the 1990’s. I A
