Adam Coombs, from grade 4 reported that their class is now enrolled in swimming lessons every Wednesday in Vanastra. They will receive eight lessons. Congratulations to Trisha McClure who won with her poster about Safcty on the farm. The school children have also been busy doing some fundraising for some new playground equip- ment. This week they have been selling tickets on landscaping prizes of trees and shrubs which have been generously donated by Paul Vander Molen. Mrs. Vivian brought her new baby (Aaron) to show the kindergarten class as she promised to do when she left the classroom in December for maternity leave.

Good ole Walton by Patty Banks 887-6860 'Bob' the hamster went home this weekend with Jennifer Eedy to check out her hospitality. If you happen to visit the school and head into Mrs. Howe-Lobb's grade two class you will see the beautiful eggshell pictures that the class has made. They are doing egg centers now which included math, reading, writing and speaking, art and listening. Down at the end of Walton Public school you will find the grade three class and they are learning the story of Helen Keller. They are trying to imagine what it would be like to be deaf and blind. The kids wanted to mention that when the grade fours go swimming they get to take over selling snacks and helping with Kindergarten class and the other school jobs that the grade fours normally do. Way to go, grade threes. The wind wasn't up much on Friday but the grade one class tried to fly their kites. They were finish- ing up tnetr 'Air Adventure Activities' by flying their 'bag kites and folded kites' they had made in Art on Wednesday. They also experimented with weather vanes, windmills, spinners and wind socks. Gee, 1 wish science was that fun when I went to school! Jim and Linda McDonald were greeters at Duff's United Church on April 9, Palm Sunday. Sharon Brown and daughter Becky, read the Lenten Liturgy and the last purple candle was extinguished. The choir did a wonderful job of singing a Palm Sunday song called, 'On Humble Beast Now rides th.: King'. Rev. Randy Banks welcomed everyone and reminded people that the Easter Sunday Service will be held at 11:30 in Walton and there will be Holy Communion served. He also mentioned that tickets are available for music night on April 23, featuring Eduard and Christine Klassen and the Paraguayan harp. You can call Phyllis Mitchell if anyone is interested in where and how to purchase tickets or if they just want information. Rev. then made it known that the Easter Lilies that were placed in the church for the Shut -Ins were generously donated the Knechtels Food Market. Cassandra Banks helped her dad complete the Lenten Garden banner by adding the Chalice. The children brought their plam branch to the front with them and Rev. Banks read instructions that took about five minutes on how they could make them into crosses. But unless one had about five hours to spend and the patience of Job, it would be very hard to do, so he told them that he did it the easy way and ordered some palm crosses from a store. With those words he made sure that the kids had a cross. The Sunday School had an inter- esting lesson as all of them took a walk through Holy Week. There were eight stations to visit and for the Last Supper they got to taste some Jewish food.
