Fall has arrived in McLeod Garden

The memorial garden for Dr. Hugh McLeod, generously donated by his wife Leslie and his daughter Lauren, has been getting some TLC. Over the summer the large columns were pressured washed, and our landscaper has been trimming and weeding. A new memorial plaque was install and some fall foliage has been planted in the two main pots at the entrance to the garden. This garden, located behind the cafe, is used by many students to take a much needed respite, study for tests, catch up with a friend, or enjoy a sunny day. Thanks to Jennifer Labarthe for her time and talent helping the Foundation to make the garden a place for all to enjoy.

First Coffee Chat with Dr. Santoro Takes Place

Roughly 40 parents attended the first coffee chat with principal, Dr. Santoro, on Tuesday, October 15. Dr. Santoro presented updates on upcoming events, addressed safety concerns in light of recent events, and took questions from parents, covering academic pathways, building access procedures, and more.

All donors who contribute $250 or more to this year’s campaign will receive invitations to the remaining quarterly coffee chats, so get your donations in.

Foundation Spotlight: Ashley Nickell

This year the Walton High School Foundation is pleased to support the salaries of two staff members. Ashley Nickell is Walton’s newest English teacher, and a Walton graduate. Let her introduce herself:

“My name is Ashley Nickell. Having earned my college degree in marketing and management and working in the recruiting technology field, I pursued my passion for teaching earning my Masters in the Art of Teaching and a secondary Bachelor of Arts in English. I have been teaching high school English for the past 11 years, most recently teaching in South Forsyth High School. I love helping students gain more analytical skills and improving their writing techniques. I look forward to creating strong students on the 9th and 10th grade English teams. I am so excited to be a Raider (again) as my husband and I both graduated from Walton High School!”

Habitat for Humanity is Back at Walton!

Walton’s Habitat for Humanity invites  Parents & Students for an Information Session: October 7th, 6:30pm, Media Center Lecture Hall

Walton Habitat was very active in the past with over 200+ student members, raising over $40,000 a year. Because of new Cobb County regulations, we were unable to fundraise all of last year and weren’t able to participate in the build. We are trying to build a strong Parent Board to supervise volunteering opportunities and fundraisers and bring back this amazing and necessary organization to Walton.

This club has allowed students to earn many service hours in the past and actively serve in their community! This is a great cause, and we would love for students to join and parents to volunteer.
