But they had a great time learning all about the letter "A". They made "A" apple prints and ants out of egg cartons. Friday was a very "electrifying" day as the kids watched the lightning storm from their room. The Grade 2/3s have started a new unit about mapping. The Grade 3/4s have finished reading James and the Giant Peach. In French class the kids are making pet puppets and will be putting on a puppet play soon. Congratulations to the Walton School for winning first prize for the best theme float in the Brussels Fair. The Grade 3/4 class had painted the barn back drop for the float and had, "You All Come" written on. The kindergartens and Grade Is rode the float along with Phyllis Mitchell who played her hoe-down fiddle music. The rest of the school walked behind dressed in country garb and carrying banners that said, "We're rootin' f Walton by Patty Banks 887-6156 tootin' ready" and "Howdy". The school was well repre- sented in the various classes in the fair with a lot of Walton students coming away with ribbons.

The sale is held after the calves have been shown in their respective classes at the fair. They show in showman- ship classes, gain and finish. There are also classes for market steers and heifers. .The members receive the sale proceeds for their calves.
