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!

Congratulations to Darrin Walley who, on Friday, became the all-time leading rusher in Walton CSD history!

On his third carry Friday night against Deposit/Hancock, he broke the all-time record of 2,728 yards, which was set by Jim O’Donnell from 1981-1983.

Walley, who finished the game with 90 yards, has 1,036 yards this season, and now has 2,809 yards over four varsity seasons. Walton has three games remaining this year.

Way to go, Darrin!
