40 Parent Volunteers Needed by Oct 7th to Proceed with Homecoming Dance
Walton’s Student Leadership Council (SLC) is excited to announce that it will be hosting Walton’s Homecoming Dance on Saturday, October 16th from 7:30 p.m. – 10:30 p.m. The dance will be held outside under tents in the back of the school building. (It will be brought into the main gym if we have bad weather and refunds will be issued to any families who are uncomfortable with the dance being indoors.) The theme for the night is “Under the Stars.”
We need parent volunteers in order for this event to take place. To ensure the safety of our students, we need more parents than we have asked for in the past. We hope that ALL of our parents will want to jump in to help make this event happen for our students. Please see the sign up below. We need to have 40 parent volunteers registered to chaperone by October 7th or the event will be CANCELLED. Of course we will also have help from faculty, administration and local police that night. We are anticipating a large number of attendees since this will be our first dance in two years so please help us make this a fantastic night for your students.
Walton Students Remember Those Lost on 9/11
The Student Leadership Council (SLC) and the Student Government Association (SGA) installed 2977 American flags around campus to remember every person who was lost in the September 11, 2001 attack on America. This week marks 20 years since that terrible tragedy. Even though these students were born after the attack, they understand the deep loss our country suffered that fateful day.

Teacher Spotlight: Christine Heuel
Mrs. Heuel teaches Biology, English and study skills at Walton. She has been teaching for 12 years. Before joining Walton, she taught at Dodgen. Mrs. Heuel finds seeing how much her students have grown since she had them at Dodgen very rewarding.
At an early age, Mrs. Heuel knew she wanted to work with children. When she was in college, she was an after-school coordinator for the YMCA. It was that job, that confirmed she would be working with students in some capacity.
Outside of teaching, Mrs. Heuel enjoys attending and cheering on Atlanta United with her husband. She also loves music! She has sung and played all of her life.
