Walker Wolverines PTA

Registration for winter athletics is open now through January 3. Beginning this school year, District 65 and the City of Evanston are excited to partner together to provide increased access to youth athletics programming! Students in grades 4-5 at all District 65 elementary and magnet schools will have the opportunity to participate in basketball, cheerleading, and ultimate frisbee this winter.

More details about practice and game schedules are available on the District 65 website and on the registration page for each sport. Fee assistance will be provided both through the City and District 65 to ensure athletic programming remains at zero cost to families who qualify for free and reduced-price meals.

For more information and registration instructions, view the City of Evanston’s Winter Program Guide.

Walker still needs coaches, too. Coaching information can be found here. The only team we have filled is the 5th grade girls/nb basketball team. 

Thinking of starting your holiday shopping? Check out the Five Below on Main Street in Evanston and support Walker! Present a hard copy (printed) of the flyer with your purchase, and Five Below will donate 10% your sale to Walker. Look for the flyers in your students’ Friday Folders this week!

We welcome all who are interested in learning more and helping us create a healthier, more sustainable and equitable future for our students.

Sign up your student for a before or after school discovery club! There’s sports, yoga, cooking, drawing, dance and more! Discovery Clubs are additional enrichment classes led by companies that Right At School partners with that are typically one hour, once a week. Discovery Clubs are a great opportunity for specialized enrichment in the convenience of our own school. Scholarships available.

It’s hard to believe, but cooler temps are on the way!  Please consider donating gently used (or new if possible!) coats, gloves, hats and scarves.  ESCCA is also in need of gently used clothing that meets these guidelines.  All donations will be offered to D65 children in need through ESCCA’s shop at JEH.  Items can be dropped off at the drive-up bin on the west side JEH (1500 McDaniel) or in the bin at Walker, just inside Door 5 at the cafeteria entrance. You can also support ESCCA by shopping ESCCA’s Amazon Wishlist.

Interested in volunteering at least 4 times a year with ESCCA?  We are in need of a few more Supervisors (college age or older, see flyer) and provide training and a flexible schedule.  Email maryshawcox@gmail.com if interested!

If you would like to learn more about accessing ESCCA’s services, please contact your school health clerk.
