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.
