Corey Rich, otherwise known as Corey the Dribbler made a stop at Walton CSD’s Townsend Elementary last week! A former Harlem Globetrotter and an 8-time Guinness World Record holder, he is a youth motivational speaker and shares his story and character education message. His interactive basketball show, which wowed the students with his ability to perform many tricks, was mixed in with his messages about respect, education, and having the right attitude. He told the story about his dream to be a member of the Globetrotters and how he reached his goal. The kids had a lot of fun, laughed a lot, and learned his message. Such a wonderful assembly! #WeAreWalton #WaltonCSD #WaltonPride

Students in eighth-grade ELA recently held a poetry tasting, led by student teacher Katie Cuomo. Students had the opportunity to explore different poetry styles and authors. They had to pick three different poems/authors that they felt drawn to, or resonated with. The room also was set up with flower vases and snacks to give it a café feel. The students were engaged in the activity, which was put together to expose the students to poetry. Well done! #WeAreWalton #WaltonCSD #WaltonPride

Music on the Delaware recently sponsored a music workshop for Walton CSD high school band students. Three performers from around the area joined together to play for the students. Led by Yolanda Bush, the trio talked about and then played music and rhythms from Trinidad to early American to the blues. The others in the trip were Evan Jangles on the double bass, and Wyatt Ambrose on guitar. Bush played the cajon and sang, with much of her focus about music that Africans brought with them and how that influenced music through the different genres throughout the years. Students were involved in clapping rhythms with the trio, and were engaged in the music being shared. Walton CSD band director Raymond Bartlett noted it was a nice musical culmination to Black History Month at Walton. #WeAreWalton #WaltonCSD #WaltonPride
