Song dedicated to teacher This has been a busy week for teachers and students at Walton Public School. On Tuesday the grade fours and grade ones went to Brussels to Huronlea where the students put on a program for the Seniors residing there. Gloria Wilbee shared her gift of music and sang dedicating the song to the teachers and in the memory of Shirley Lyon. Thursday was the turkey lunch that each classroom helped prepare. Helen Crocker and June Johns cooked a turkey each and made the gravy. The classes made their own desserts and carrot and celery sticks. The grade fours peeled potatoes and grade one got the cranberries ready. The Kindergarten kids made their own placemats and Christmas crackers. With the help of many volunteer moms the food was all dished out and delivered to each classroom and everyone shared in a Christmas feast. Principal -Tion Treemer was there as well as G.

Sharon Brown and daughter Becky read the Advent Liturgy and candle #4 was lit. Crystal Gibbons placed the felt flame on the Advent banner. Rev.
