McGavins return
from island cruise
Neil and Marie McGavin just got
back from a very restful and
wonderful cruise to the Virgin
Islands. Neil said the weather was
beautiful and the food plentiful and
they had a very relaxing time. Jeff
and Brian McGavin had won this
promotional trip and decided that
mom and dad could use it better
than they could at this time.
Welcome back folks.
There will be a Walton Hall
Luncheon on April 26 starting at
11:30 a.m. to l p.m.
Everyone is welcome to attend as
they also have many wonderful
cooks to prepare food.
Open Wedding Reception
Two for one
Walton Public School student Derek Bachert reads for principal Alice McDowell and
principal-for-a-day Graeme Craig last Wednesday afternoon. Craig was taking part in an
exchange that will soon see McDowell flipping pancakes at the Walton Inn. (Photo by Pauline Biok)
G. Craig, principal for a day
After Wednesday of last week I
am wondering if Walton Public
School will ever be the same. It
seems that Principal Alice
McDowell made Graeme Craig
principal for the day or afternoon as
it turned out. Alice will get to be
the head chef at .the Walton Inn
sometime in May or June.
Some of Graeme’s duties were
eating birthday cake with one of the
kindergarten children., Brody.
Brody offered Graeme the fluffy
tail on his bunny cake.
He also listened to a Grade 2
student read, did the afternoon
announcements, assisted with
dismissal, ordered port-a-potties for
the year end celebration, took care
of the emcees for the event as well,
and gave some background
information for the history of the
school.
So, if there are any schools that
need a principal for a day just give
Graeme a call as he is now highly
trained.
The Grade l/2s have completed
their unit on eating healthy by
making a snack called, Popcorn
Munchie Mix.
They still have to find the results
of what bones are like without
enough calcium. They have a bone
in ajar of vinegar for the test.
The Grade 3/4s went to Seaforth
to participate in the Slice of Huron
this past week. The kids all divided
into groups and each group then
participated in different activities.
When they got back to the school a
representative from each group told
the group of students and teachers
what they learned.
The Grade 4s had an ice-cream
party in celebration of learning
much of their timetables. Keep up
the good work.
The Reading Club also held its
meeting serving all kinds of tasty
refreshments to their fellow
students and all the parents who
arrived. Each child had to tell about
the book they read from the list of
Things With Wings. Some of the
books were titled, Owls in the
Family, The Cow Won’t Come
Down, Up Up and Away.
The next books to read can be
anything that they choose.

Duffs serves up breakfast
Palm Sunday started off with a
well-attended breakfast with some
of the best cooks in Walton in the
kitchen.
There were the two McGavin
brothers in there with sleeves rolled
up taking their job of cooking eggs
very seriously. Graeme Craig, well
organized, was mixing up his
famous hotcake batter, while that
wonder with a flipper, Gloria
Wilbee, was flipping perfectly
round hotcakes. Shelley McGavin
manned the toaster, Dianne
VanVliet, Heidi McClure and Patty
Banks kept the crowd happy by
making sure all the serving plates
were kept full of bacon, sausage,
hash browns, hotcakes, syrup, eggs,
muffins, toast, juice and coffee.
It was a well fed crowd that went
up the stairs later on as Brian and
Shelley, Abby and Brandon
McGavin greeted everyone and
handed out the bulletins.
Bonnie Cole Amal was the guest
minister for the morning service.
She welcomed everyone and said
how nice it was to be there and that
she would be back in June.
She called the children forward
and told them what Palm Sunday
was about. She gave them a palnr
branch, then passed them to the
congregation. She taught the
children and congregation the Palm
Sunday Peace song and during the
singing of it the palm branches
were waved. Rev. Cole Arnal’s
Proclamation of the Passion story
was done with scripture reading,
reflections and verses of the hymn,
Go to Dark Gethsemane.
Communion was served by
Gloria Wilbee, Brian Wilbee, Brian
McGavin and Monique Baan.
During the serving of communion,
Jim Cook and Patty Banks sang the
African American spiritual, They
Crucified My Lord from the Voices
United hymn book. The Easter
Service in Walton will begin at
11:30 a.m. with Barb Hicks as
guest speaker.
