Before the start of the school year, a “Senior Sunrise” breakfast was held at the school. Twenty-three students attended, aided by 10 parent volunteers. Students gathered at just past 6 a.m. to watch the sunrise on the front lawn of the high school. They were then treated to a breakfast of pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, and baked items. After the meal, students spent some time in the courtyard plying games. The event concluded with a drawing for a door prize, which was won by Jayden Burns. A great event to start off the year! #WeAreWalton #WaltonCSD #WaltonPride

ATHLETICS UPDATE: This weekend's football game has been moved. The varsity game will be held at 2 p.m. at Deposit. Originally, the game was slated for 7 p.m. Friday in Hancock. #WeAreWalton #WaltonCSD #WaltonPride

Live streaming for athletics If you are looking for live streaming of athletic events, Walton CSD is now using Hudl. The games that are streamed will no longer be on our YouTube page. Currently, there is a camera for games on Jim Hoover Field, and for all indoor athletics. Boys and girls soccer games that are held at Downsville will be streamed once a second camera arrives. You can access the streams at: https://fan.hudl.com/United-States/NY/Walton/organization/5037/Walton-High-School. There is also an app available called "Hudl Fan," which can be found in your favorite app store. #WeAreWalton #WaltonCSD

As our final post from the transportation class custom bicycle project, we wanted to show you the full group. This project showed our students taking part in a creative and fun project where they had to design and handle all aspects of creating a custom bike. We hope you’ve enjoyed seeing the creations over the past several weeks! #WeAreWalton #WaltonCSD #WaltonPride

The final bike in the transportation class custom bicycle project was another made my Mr. Salvia. This one features two 24x1.95-inch wheels in the front, and a 26x1.95-inch wheel in the back and it can be difficult to ride. A student also helped with this bike, which Mr. Salvia calls “The Transporter.” William Neske took it all apart for Mr. Salvia, painting and greasing all parts before putting it back together. Mr. Salvia said the bike works well on flat surfaces at a medium speed. Over rough terrain, it could be a little sketch. He would recommend the bike in a factory setting as it could be ridden and carry items in the basket. Eli Jones was also working on a second design that features three wheels. It still needs work and some re-designing, but he will be working that out in the future. The kick bicycle is called “Whatchamacallit.” A great job by all involved with these two bikes! #WeAreWalton #WaltonCSD #WaltonPride

Frank Brown’s kick bicycle is the next in line for the transportation class custom bicycle project. This was made from parts of many bicycles and he designed and fabricated it. The bike has four wheels: two 20x2.125-inch wheels, and two center support 6-inch wheels. It also has BMX handlebars. The bike length is 85 inches! His favorite part is the long frame and he calls the bike “Crazy.” Very nice work! #WeAreWalton #WaltonCSD #WaltonPride

Wishing the best of luck to Carter McNamara, Hayden Robinson, and Peyton Tweedie as they proudly represent the Walton Trap Team at the upcoming National Trapshooting Competition in Mason, Michigan this weekend!

Malachi Barringer’s bike for the transportation class custom bicycle project is made from parts of three bicycles. He designed and fabricated it alongside Killian McGowan. The bike has a 27-inch front wheel and fork, and a 20-inch wheel on the back. It also features custom handlebars and an adjustable seat post. He said he feels the bike is difficult to ride because of the large front wheel, so you have to start out slow to get used to it. His favorite part of the bike is the front wheel and he calls it “Big Wheel.” That is a great bike! #WeAreWalton #WaltonCSD #WaltonPride
