A Message from Our PTO
Thank you for your incredible support of the Fun Run! We wanted to let you know that the funds raised go far beyond just special items. They help fund a wide range of events and resources throughout the entire school year, including classroom funds for teachers, class parties, field trips, events like the Fall and Spring Family Nights, prizes, special assemblies, refreshing recess equipment, and so much more. Your contributions ensure that our students and teachers have what they need to create a vibrant and engaging school experience.
We also wanted to provide an update on the shades for the playground. Money raised for the shades is currently in the PTO savings account, pending approval from the Papillion La Vista School District Architect when the plans for the Walnut Creek Elementary renovation, funded by last year's school bond, are finalized. We will continue to keep you updated through the PTO minutes and Mrs. Bizal's weekly newsletter as we learn more.
Thank you for making this possible!

Walnut Creek School Directory
A school directory is being compiled for the 2024-25 school year. It includes class lists, home addresses, parent phone numbers, and parent email addresses. It is a great way to access contact information for birthday invitations and play dates! If you would like a copy, please send $5 cash or check to school. You can also purchase through Paypal @wcpto. The directory will be sent home with your child in early October.
If you do not want to be included in the school directory, please send a message to walnutcreekpto@plcschools.org.
