Distinguished Service Award recipient Jami Aubin and BOE President Graydon Dutcher.
This past fall, the Walton Central School District held its annual scholastic achievement awards ceremony, which were for the 2021-22 school year.
The Board of Education also gave out its annual Distinguished Service Award. BOE President Graydon Dutcher introduced winner Jami Aubin, who has served as an integral part of the elementary school for more than a decade.
A constant contributor above her job, she has been a huge part to the Townsend Elementary PTA. Included in this role are running fundraisers, as well as the Friday Fun Nights, book fairs, science fair, spelling bee, and spring carnival.
She also volunteers her own time as well to brighten up the school. She painted and updated the faculty room, making it a welcoming space. Jami and her mother also planted perennials in front of the school on a Saturday evening.
It’s the 26th year the award has been given. The award is given to somebody who has gone above and beyond in service to the Walton Central School District. A list of past winners is below.
Following the award, many Walton students were honored for academic achievement for the 2021-22 school year. Students were recognized in all departments, including science, English/language, social studies, business, agriculture/technology, health/home and career/physical education, art, and music. Superintendent Awards were also handed out.
The list of those recognized is below. To see more photos, please visit our Facebook page.
