Thank you, Roadrunners! You all really stepped up and showed up in support of our school. Thank you for all your generous donations!

We couldn't have had such a successful Fun Run and fundraising for the school without the tireless effort of the PTA Fun Run committee, our event sponsors, Principal Pratt and the amazing WG staff, all the teachers who led their classes with such enthusiasm, the parents for your patience with reschedules and supporting the school through your donations and most importantly the students who brought all their excitement to the run.

Walnut Grove Halloween Parade

Halloween Parade was a huge hit and will prove to be an amazing new tradition for our community

Thank you parents for coming, encouraging the kids and safely enjoying the parade.

Our WG children and teachers really got their Halloween spirit on and dressed up in amazing, funny, spooky, silly costumes.

We hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween on Sunday.

Pumpkin Day @ WG Garden

On October 26th, Walnut Grove celebrated National Pumpkin Day! Pumpkin Day was very exciting and there was a record number of participants!

Many students tested their throwing skills at the pumpkin toss,

Created unique designs with pumpkin seeds that will be on display in the garden this week,

Voted for the best pumpkin (the big orange one was the favorite for 1st & 2nd and 4th & 5th, while 3rd grade liked the big white one :)

Lots of guesses were made for guessing the pumpkin weight. It seemed that many felt it was heavier than 8 pounds (1st&2nd/ 3rd) and 17 pounds (4th & 5th)

A spooky scavenger hunt in the garden also kept kids busy - especially while trying to find the bat!

Many thanks to Hamutal Bonen, Megan McManus, Catarina Tran, Kim Kleibor, Barabara Allen, and Kim McCoy for making this event a success.
