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.

Are you looking to get involved at Walden?

We have open committee positions.

Hospitality Chair - Do you like ordering food and setting up a room for staff meals? Most of these events happen after school hours.

Philanthropy Club - Do you enjoy giving back? In this role, you will be helping Noa Schmidt run the philanthropy that is available to 4th and 5th graders. This chair position is part of a team. The Philanthropy Club meetings are before school. There are other events that happen outside of school hours.

Bake Sales - This is a brand new position! The role involves setting up, organizing and managing our Walden bake sales that happen throughout the year. These bake sales happen outside of school hours.

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.

Join us for our annual Donut and Bagel Breakfast on Friday, May 24. The breakfast is $6.00 per person. Sales end on Wednesday, May 22 at 11:59 pm. All sales are final! For questions, please email Shannon at Shannon.wrob@gmail.com
