Teacher Spotlight Update: Mrs Evans with NASA

Our very own physics teacher, Mrs Evans, flew into the stratosphere…above normal airplane altitudes and up to about 45,000 feet on the NASA SOFIA while doing some awesome science as part of the SETI Institute’s NASA Airborne Astronomy Ambassadors (AAA) program. SOFIA is a Boeing 747SP aircraft modified to carry a telescope with an effective diameter of 100 inches. Way to go Mrs Evans!

July 2022 Study Skills Seminars

Would you like your student to start the new school year organized and prepared for an excellent semester at Walton? You and your student should join us for one of our Study Skills Seminars.

You and your student will learn how to take effective notes and to utilize class and study resources offered at Walton to be better organized and prepared for his or her classes.

Learning Specialist and former teacher, Natalie Collins M.Ed., will be offering two 1.5 hour seminars in the Walton’s Lecture Hall, which is in the Media Center.

Study Skills Seminar Times:
• Tuesday, July 26, 2022 from 9:30 am – 11:00 am
• Wednesday, July 27, 2022 from 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm

One parent must attend with his or her student so that you are also aware of the resources available and the various organizational systems that can benefit your student. The cost of the seminar is $50.00. We have a limited number of students and parents we can accommodate to ensure an effective program so please complete the appropriate registration form below, soon.

We Raised $205K for Walton!

Our Walton Community is the best! Thank you so much for making the Foundation’s spring Capital Campaign and Auction fundraisers a success!

We raised $190K through donations this school year and $15K from the Auction for a total of $205K to help reach our goals for the 2022-23 school year. The administration is looking into how best to utilize the funds to add additional staff for the coming year. Next year, we will also work towards adding outdoor dining hall seating and maintaining the campus landscaping and hand sanitizer stations.

If you donated to the Foundation between July 1, 2021 and now, you helped us achieve this wonderful milestone and we thank you!

If you didn’t donate this year, It’s not too late! All donations received from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022 will be applied to our goals for the 2022-23 school year. Since the bulk of our fundraising goes into hiring additional staff, we must raise funds this year, for next year.
