PTA Happenings in May and June
Thank you to everyone who helped make our APEX Fun Run fundraiser such a success! Not only did students learn important character lessons from Righteous Ryan and participate in a FUN Run last Friday, but we raised approximately $9,000 to fund assemblies, field trips, and special classes like music and art. We appreciate everyone who volunteered on the day of the run, too!
April 30th through May 4th is Staff Appreciation Week. PTA is providing treats for the staff, including a luncheon on Thursday. Please check the flyer that went home at the end of April for ideas on how your child can express appreciation to the teachers and other staff members. It always feels good to be a bucket-filler!
On May 10th at Open House, we will have our General Assembly Meeting. On that night, we'll approve our new slate of PTA officers for the upcoming school year. We are looking forward to continuing to support our school in a variety of ways. Have you thought about how you'd like to get involved next year? We'd love to have you on board!Our next Restaurant Night will be at Jersey MIke's--just down the street from Walnut. Join us on Wednesday, May 16th. Jersey Mike's will donate 20% of purchases associated with Walnut that day back to the school.
PTA is busy planning our first Saturday-afternoon End-of-the-Year Bash! Bring the whole family to Walnut on Saturday, June 2nd, from 12-4 p.m. for a terrific afternoon with friends. Look for a flyer to come home soon describing the activities and food options. We'll also be raffling off the brand new Schwinn Bike donated by Amgen at our Bike Safety Assembly last month!
