Sensory Garden Over the last couple of months, we have had several volunteer groups working to prepare our garden for planting at the Pat Walker Center for Children. It looks fantastic and our children have been enjoying all of the sensory activities that the volunteers provided. Thank You!

Summer Activity Buckets Ball Corporation donated buckets full of summer activities for the children at the Pat Walker Center for Children. Keeping kids active and engaged in creative play is important, especially during summer break. Thank you Ball Corporation for your support!

Family Achievement Day Kona Ice came to cool everyone down with an icy treat at the Ivory M. Conley Family Achievement Day. Thank you Kona Ice!

Pie in the Face! We had several pies in faces to celebrate our reading accomplishments during the recent Reading Race. Kevin Bolstad (pictured upper left), West Washington County's Parent Committee President, took a pie in the face from Rowan who read 64 books during the Reading Race.  Ms. Kelly (pictured lower left), EOA Nutrition Assistant, received a pie in the face for the Ellen Smith Center kiddos reading over 500 books during the Reading Race!

Gardening, Planting, & Beautification Members of the Junior League of Northwest Arkansas continued their hard work on the garden and grounds at the Pat Walker Center for Children. They pulled weeds, watered plants, mulched, and planted an apple tree and a blueberry bush. Thank you so much for your hard work, everything looks beautiful!

New Address The Pat Walker Center for Children is in the same location, but we have a new address! Due to the entrance to our building being extended, the city of Springdale has given our street a name and a new sign. Our new address is 260 Victory Lane. EOA selected "Victory Lane" as it symbolizes our mission of "empowering children and families to learn, connect, and succeed."
