The highlight for the school this week has been track and field - Walton's first attempt at it. What was unique about the day is the event included Grades 2, 3 and 4. A very excited Tina Bueckert (Grade 4) came to school last week with news that she has a new baby brother. Apparently her mom and dad were planning on flying to Mexico but they got as far as the London Airport and the baby decided it was time to enter the world. The kindergarten class had a visit from Corduroy the bear. He travels around Huron County and he wanted to check out the kids in Walton. There are a lot of children's books written about Corduroy. Continuing in their Snail Unit in Grade 2, Nicholas Giller brought in some land snails. Dann Eedy showed the-class some water snails that he had collected. Did you know that water snails have gills? I have become much, wiser since going to the school to gather news. Although the Grade is didn't participate in the track and field, they did watch some of the events and then had their own events during gym. Ball park lights up Well the Walton Ball park now has two new lights up and a new sign that was designed and painted by Sharon Brown of Walton. The little village will be busy this coming weekend starting Friday with an old time dance down at the Hall and a baseball tournament will be going on during the weekend as well. On behalf of the Walton community I'd like to extend our deepest sympathy to Gloria Love, who's father Harvey Beuerman died this past week. Doug and Marjory Fraser visited with Dorothy and Leonard Webster of Oakwood, Ont., friends of Doug's from his days on the Ontario Cream Board. Doug and Marjory's daughter Cheryl Mader and new baby Lucas spent a week with them. Neil and Marie McGavin visited with Ruth and Bruce Kelso of Sault Ste. Marie where Marie attended a surprise bridal shower for Heather McGavin. Howard and Audrey Hackwell's daughter Pam came from Toronto Wednesday, May 24, to help her dad celebrate his birthday. He is keeping his age a secret. Only "The Shadow" knows. Geoffrey Banks got to go to conference with his dad, Randy. Not only did he get off school for two days he also went down a five- storey waterslide, made lots of new friends, went bowling and was kept very busy. Both guys arrived home exhausted from the four-day event. Marion and Lavern Godkin travelled to Kingston May 27 where they attended their daughter Nancy's convocation at Queen's University. Nancy received honors in Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy. Nancy has accepted a position at a hospital in Orlando, Florida in the Occupation Therapy department. Congratulations! Due to Rev. Randy Banks being away for conference at Sault Ste. Marie this Sunday, a very capable Graeme Craig took the service. Gloria Wilbee told the children about Paul and Silas being in prison and how they stayed happy while being locked up and how their jailer found God through them Graeme presented to the congregation a reading by Betsy Schwarzentraub called Giving Her All. It was based on Mark 12:41- 44 about the widow who put in all she had into the collection box. She showed that the gift that counts is the gift that costs; that no gift of love is too small to count, and that giving to God means putting in the Call and people everywhere can help themselves. 1-800-466-9326. oxfam Canada whole of our living, our hearts.
