THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 2002. Little School students celebrate he Walton Little School's toddler class continues holiday celebrations by creating a Class Christmas Book, .practising Christmas carols and using the Christmas counting chart. During last week, the toddlers have been bringing in their favourite holiday books to read and share with their friends. The pre-school class has been busy writing letters to Santa Claus and counting down the days left until Christmas. They have reached their goal for Our Gift of Hope money, that the children and families have generously donated and now they are able to give a gift of school supplies for an entire class of less fortunate children. The children have really enjoyed watching the money accumulate and were happy to participate in the experience of giving to others less fortunate this Christmas.

Christmas music was provided by Phyllis Mitchell, Graeme Craig and Glenda Morrison. In celebration of Advent, the candle of Joy was lit and responsive reading was led by Brian and Abby McGavin. The congregation was blessed by the musical talents of Brian Black and Gloria Wilbee who sang In the Silent Night. Marie McGavin delivered the first -‘ scripture reading of the service. Joan Tuchlinsky's reflection was on the joy and anticipation of the coming of new life in the birth of a baby. The offering was taken by John Huether, Brian Wilbee and Paul McCallum. The Sunday School families and friends enjoyed a delightful wagon ride on Friday evening. The wagon was donated and decorated by McGavins and it travelled through the village with its passengers singing Christmas carols and wishing all a Merry Christmas. The wagon was full of families and upon arriving at Emerson and Phyllis Mitchell's all were treated with the gift of an apple.
