Please make sure to use up all of your Marla's Lunch credits before the end of the school year.

We will have a new lunch provider beginning in the Fall. Stay tuned for more information.

We are continuing the Walden New Family Welcoming Committee. The purpose is to welcome new families to the Walden community by pairing them with a volunteer family. This includes the incoming Kindergarten class and any families new to Walden School. We are currently seeking families who would be interested in connecting with a family (or multiple families) to:

• Check in periodically with the new family, proactively asking if they need any guidance
• Be available to a new family who have any questions re: Walden activities, programming, and community events
• Connect families with other families who have children similar ages

Please e-mail Allie Zalay (allie.zalay@gmail.com) or Nikki Wallenstein (nsschneider@hotmail.com) if you'd like to volunteer, and how many families you would be available to mentor.

Thank you so much for everyone that has volunteered! We are so appreciative of all the new faces that will be running committees for the Walden PTO!

We are looking for our final committee chair position. However, we ALWAYS need volunteers on the day of our events!

Walden Wildcat - Responsibilities include arranging for mascot appearances at events. You do not need to dress up as the mascot. You need to find someone to dress up as the mascot and coordinate the details of the when and where for the volunteer. Our mascot makes appearances regularly throughout the school year!

The library is looking for parent volunteers to help with end of the year inventory and organization. No classes will be present, so this will be a relatively quiet volunteer experience. Jobs will include book shelving, shelf reading to make sure books are in the right places, organization of Makerspace materials, and labeling of books. We appreciate any and all help! Please contact allie.zalay@gmail.com with any questions.

We are looking for people that are interested in becoming room parents for the 2024-2025 school year! Each classroom will have two room parents.

**Room parents are required to attend an evening informational meeting in August and Open House.**

Room parent responsibilities include collecting money for classroom parties and teacher gifts, coordinating volunteers, and serving as classroom liaison, which includes communicating with the teacher and class parents. Room Parents will be assigned in August once class lists are communicated.

Please email PTOWalden@gmail.com with the name and grade of your child next year, and include YOUR name, email, and phone number. If you have multiple children at Walden, please list all grades and preference. We try to place you in your preferred child's classroom, but it is not always possible.

Co-President: Allie Zalay
