Walker PTA will have a booth at PEP Fest where kids can color in a banner saying “thank you” to D65 teachers and get some Walker spirit wear as well. We need volunteers to take a shift at the booth to make the day a success. Please consider coming for an hour to volunteer (bring a friend or your student) and staying another hour (or more!) to enjoy all the great activities! Please sign up here if interested: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/508084FAEAD23A0FB6-volunteer
Come join us for casual meet and greets for incoming Kindergarten students and their families. It’s a great chance to hear from our welcoming Walker community and meet some fellow classmates before the first day of school!
Please feel free to join us for any or all of them:
For questions, more information, or to RSVP, please contact: Walker parent Sarah Trulley at smtrulley@gmail.com
The school garden area has been transformed this year thanks to so many volunteers! Students have been experimenting with winter sowing, planting seeds, vegetables, and flowers, learning about worm castings (!), planting trees, and engaging with nature.
Please consider signing up to help water sections of the garden during the summer months. It’s the ONLY way a school garden can survive and thrive. An hour commitment for a big reward. Click here to sign up!

Join District 65 for the communitywide Juneteenth Parade & Celebration
District 65 has been invited to participate in Evanston’s 4th Annual Juneteenth Parade and Celebration to be held on Saturday, June 17. In an effort to build community and celebrate this historic day, we are inviting interested staff, students, and their families to represent our school district as part of the parade which will also include performances by The Jesse White Tumblers, South Shore Drill Team, and representation from various organizations across our community.
Juneteenth (June 19) is a historic day commemorating enslaved African Americans’ emancipation. It is a day of celebration, remembrance, and reflection and is now a state and federal holiday! Our Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) Team will host an event on Friday, June 16, at the Joseph E. Hill Education Center (1500 McDaniel Avenue, Evanston) from 4 – 7 pm to make signs and decorations.
Our goal is to represent District 65’s efforts toward diversity and inclusion and bring our community together to celebrate the progress made since Juneteenth while acknowledging the work still left to do to achieve true equality. We would love to gather 100 people!
