About the PTA

The Walnut Grove PTA is a nonprofit, volunteer organization established to benefit the Walnut Grove community. The PTA's primary goal is to bring together staff and parents to improve and enhance our children's school experience. We work to achieve this goal in the following ways:

  • Volunteering our time for school events and projects
  • Hosting school functions
  • Fostering communication between parents, staff and the district
  • Fundraising to help meet unfunded school needs.
