WPS to have addition in the fall
The Huron County Board of Education has
announced that ministry and board funds
have been made available to provide addi-
tional classroom space at Walton Public
School. With this addition space will be
available for library, special eucation, a
computer lab, and much needed audio
visual and general storage.
The Walton Public School building was
erected in 1962, and there have been few
changes made since that time. The school
houses pupils from kindergarten to Grade 3.
Many new programs have been im-
plemented since 1962. A library facility,
computer labs and special education oppor-
tunities are now integral parts of our school
system.
This new semi-permanent addition to
WPS will ensure the children of the school
area have equal programming oppor-
tunities necessary to prepare them for the
1990s.
