The Walden Weekly

Can you believe that we are nearly at the end of the school year?! We are so proud of our band and orchestra students who performed an incredible show for our school on Thursday. It was clear to see their growth since the Winter concert. Great job musicians!

Please read some important announcements below including our GO WILDCATS Countdown that begins next Friday!

Have a wonderful weekend and we'll see you back at school on Monday!
