Walker Wolverines PTA

Come join us for this month’s meeting! We will be meeting on Zoom from 6:30-7:30 pm. Principal Gray sent out the meeting link in his Feb. 8th email. Click here for the agenda.

Each month, there are many ways to celebrate cultures, backgrounds, and what make our students unique. The PTA decorates bulletin boards near the office and plans events or projects rooted in the monthly theme(s). What makes your student unique? How should the PTA continue to celebrate each month? If you have ideas or would like to participate, please email us at walkerptagroup@gmail.com.

Schools across Illinois participate in the Five Essentials Survey to get feedback about how they are doing. Students, staff and parents take different surveys and all three are combined to create a report for schools. Please take about ten minutes and complete the survey to help Walker improve – rmd.me/GkBovSPHoyX
