Twenty-one seniors went on a trip to visit SUNY Broome’s campus as part of the Walton Central School District’s partnership through SUNY Broome Express.

All students in the Class of 2026 were accepted to SUNY Broome in late October, and this visit to their campus was a continuation of the support SUNY Broome provides Walton CSD students to explore their post-secondary options.

The visit included an introductory presentation of the college's programs, services, and activities, followed by a campus tour, and ending with our students having lunch in Broome’s student commons.

Earlier this fall, seventh graders visited the Fenimore Farm in Cooperstown. Social studies teacher Dave Burnsworth organized the trip as an activity to enhance the Native American Cultures unit students were working on.

Students participated in the “Six Nations Iroquois Life” tour where they learned about the history and culture of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) people native to New York. They visited a Seneca log house from the early 1800’s, a replica Mohawk bark house constructed by 8th-grade students from Cooperstown Central School, and toured the Thaw Collection of American Indian Art inside the Fenimore House.

Students were led by museum educators through the exhibits and experienced what life might have been like for Native Americans living on the banks of Otsego Lake prior to the arrival of European settlers.

Students in Tracie Wood’s first-grade class recently participated in Doctor Day. With the help of parent volunteers, students rotated through five engaging stations, each focused on a different body system. Students put together a human-sized skeleton, built a “robot finger” to see how muscles and tendons move bones, and made dynamic models of the digestive and nervous systems. The first graders even had the chance to try our real doctor tools to explore how their own bodies work.

A great learning session! Thank you to all parents who volunteered!
