Welcome Back Coffee

On the first day of school, right after drop off, the Walnut Grove PTA invites parents to catch up with friends, make new ones, and hear what our principal has to say — 

All while enjoying a cup of coffee!

Back-to-School Family Social

Shortly after school starts again in the fall, the Walnut Grove PTA invites families to join us for a community-building family social. Food trucks will be on-site for those who wish to buy dinner and/or dessert, or bring your own picnic and enjoy the music and company. It's a great time to reconnect with other Walnut Grove families as we begin the school year.

Coffee with the Principal

Once a month, the PTA hosts a discussion time with our principal where you can ask questions and find out the latest school news. For the 2014–15 school year, these events will take place on the first Thursday of every month from 2 to 2:50 pm

Mornings with Cargivers Events

Twice a year, the PTA invites special caregivers and parents to come to school early and have breakfast with your child. 

The annual Fun Run is a wonderful community-building event that encourages Walnut Grove students to be active while supporting our school. Students are encouraged to obtain pledges for each lap they run to raise money for the school. 

The day of the Fun Run is full of laughter, fun, music, community pride, and healthy exercise. Each student is given a Fun Run T-shirt sponsored by the friends and families in our community. Each grade level is assigned a "spirit color" to wear. Many classes choose to tie-dye their t-shirts; color their hair; and adorn socks, hairbands, and even tutus to show their spirit. 

Parent volunteers our amazing Walnut Grove PE teachers and PTA volunteers in decorating the school grounds with colorful flags and balloons to set the tone for the day. On the day of the event, we crank up the volume of the music and party! Parents, siblings, grandparents, and friends come out for the day and cheer on the students.

The Fun Run is a great way to come together and mingle with old friends and new, while raising money for Walnut Grove. It stands out as a highlight of every school year!

We are so excited to once again hold an in-person Multicultural Fair at Walnut Grove! 

This one-day event will highlight different traditions, dress, languages and foods from countries around the world. It will give students the opportunity to explore new cultures and promotes a safe, welcoming and inclusive campus environment where every family can feel a sense of belonging.

Students will visit the Fair during the day with their classrooms, and are invited to return in the evening (5:00-7:00 pm) with their families to explore further and also enjoy food from each country. 

This event would not be possible without the help of our Walnut Grove community! 

We invite parent volunteers onto campus to share elements of their culture or ethnicity with our students and their families.

Spring Open House

Families are invited to enjoy some the community at Walnut Grove while they explore our classrooms and celebrate student achievements.
