Roadrunners Supporting Texas
A small group of Walnut Grove parents have taken it upon themselves to come up with ways that Walnut Grove, as a community, can support Texas schools that were damaged as a result of Hurricane Harvey.
After much research, they have found a small school district with 5 schools in Rockport, Texas to help. You will be receiving more information on these fundraising efforts in the very near future, but in the meantime, we encourage you to "like" the
Facebook page that was created and talk to your kids about some creative ways they think they could help raise money to rebuild the schools in Rockport.
Also, mark your calendars for a Bake Sale taking place after school on Wednesday, September 27th. If you would like to help out or donate items for the sale, please contact
[email protected]
We are a compassionate, generous community and together, we can make a bigger impact by focusing on the schools in Rockport, Texas.
