On Wednesday, October 28, the Vincennes Community School Corporation will join South Knox, North Knox and Vincennes Catholic Schools in wearing pink to honor the life and memory of 9-year-old Keith Walton.
We invite our students, staff, families and community members to wear Keith’s favorite color as we come together to support the Walton family and remind them they are not alone.
Spartans, Warriors, Alices and Patriots—coming together as one to honor Keith and surround the Walton family with love.

The Vincennes Community School Corporation extends our deepest condolences to the family, friends and South Knox school community following the tragic loss of 9-year-old Keith Walton.
In moments like these, it doesn’t matter what school we attend or what district we call home. We are all one community, and we come together to support one another during times of unimaginable loss.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Keith’s family, loved ones and everyone affected by this heartbreaking tragedy.
A GoFundMe has been established to help Keith’s family with funeral expenses and other financial needs during this difficult time.
For those who are able and would like to help, we encourage you to consider making a donation or sharing the fundraiser.
