On Oct. 19, the Walton PS
Support Group was formed. Vice
Principal Helen Crocker chaired the
first meeting and talked about what
a parent support group was about.
With 16 people in attendance a
discussion was held about the
specific needs for the Walton
group. Some of the issues raised
were: fundraising, student-parent
handbook, code of behaviour, and
bussing.
Several sub-committees were
formed. Rita Bowers and Randy
Banks agreed to take on the role of
chairpersons. Helen Crocker will
be the secretary. The group
discussed the purposes of having a
parent support group. Anyone
interested in being a part of this
group can attend the next meeting
Monday, Nov. 28 at the school.
Harvey McClure has arrived
home Seaforth following a visit
with his son Rae at St. Petersburg,
Alta. He reported the weather was
warm and the farmers have most of
their crops off, much earlier than
last year.
Allan and Alice Searle enjoyed a
15-day motor trip to Russell,
Manitoba recently. They spent a
holiday visiting with their daughter
Helen, sone-in-law Jim Duncan and
grandson Carey.
I would like to encourage people
to phone me if they have any news
to share with the readers. Now
many of you think that nothing
newsworthy ever happens in your
lives. But for those people who
have moved away from the
community and still subscribe to
the paper, it is nice to read about
friends that they left behind.
I know that some of you also
mail clippings to people that used
to live here. I guess it is sort of like
saying, "I'm alive and well and
thinking about you."
So what may seem unimportant
in your life may in fact be very
interesting to someone else.
Someone who misses good ole
Walton and area.
We welcome into the commun
ity, Linda and Dale Davidson. They
have renovated a house in town and
we hope that they will enjoy living
in Walton.
