The Walden Weekly
May 24, 2024
Dear Walden Families,
We had a delicious start to the day with our annual PTO Bagel & Donut Breakfast! It was quite the yummy feast! We also started our GO WILDCATS Countdown today with Game Day! We enjoyed a great magician in the lunchroom on Monday and a fun DJ Dance Party outside at the end of the day today as a special incentive from the Fun Run! How are there only 9 days left of school!?
Have a wonderful weekend! As a reminder, we have no school on Monday due to Memorial Day. Enjoy the day off and we'll see you on Tuesday!
