October Treat: PTA Membership Drive – and your child’s class can benefit!

Posted on October 6, 2017 by atomichoneydew

We are excited to announce our continuing PTA membership drive for this school year, with a brand new incentive this month, and it’s no trick!  We are currently over 100 strong, but want to keep growing!!! 

The class with the most parents, grandparents, family/friends & community members that have become an official Walker PTA member will get a pizza party on us in November!   Please share and build our community.  Just supporting PTA by paying their $10 annual dues is all it takes, but if they are inclined to attend meetings and/or help with activities we are of course happy to have them as a valuable part of the Walker School Community!

Questions, please email Junette Moseley to join, sign up online here!

Happy Fall!
