You Belong Here - December's Daily Delights!

December sparkles with learning excitement! Each day brings special opportunities to grow, create, and celebrate together. Regular attendance ensures your child doesn't miss out on important end-of-semester activities, classroom traditions, and holiday learning fun. These weeks are filled with completing projects, sharing achievements, and building classroom memories. When your child attends consistently, they stay engaged in learning while enjoying this magical time of year. Let's work together to make every December day special!

Compassion for the Community Closet

We are once again blown away by the generosity and compassion of our community! We have 21 very heavy boxes to donate to our PLCS Community Closet to be distributed to families in Papillion. Thank you to everyone for your support and kindness!

Online Spirit Wear Store

Looking for the perfect gift this holiday season? The Walnut Creek Elementary Online Spirit Gear Store is open year round and all items ship directly to you. There are many options to choose from including t-shirts, hoodies, pants, shorts, ball caps, and even backpacks. Happy shopping!

Attention PTO Winter Party Volunteers!

We are getting ready for our winter classroom parties on Dec. 20th from 2:15-3:00 p.m.! Our PTO will provide a drink and a snack for each student. Additional food items such as cookie decorating and candies used for bingo markers or prizes will not be allowed. Students should not bring goody bags to share with classmates, even if they are non-food items. Please see our Student Handbook for more information. As a reminder, classrooms are limited to four parent volunteers. Additional guests will not be admitted.


We will have a party planning session on Wednesday, Dec. 4th from 5:00-7:00 p.m. in the WC Library. Party volunteers can drop in to brainstorm ideas, meet other parents, and coordinate with their classroom team. Attendance is highly encouraged!

Wildcat Workers - Support our School!

Wildcat Workers come to the school each week on Wednesdays and/or Fridays to help our teachers and staff behind the scenes. We prep classroom projects, laminate, set up bulletin boards, organize Friday Folders, and take care of other tasks as requested. Most days we work 8:05-9:30am. We also have a Take Home option that is just for cutting projects! These projects are easy to do from the comfort of your couch. Sign up for the option that works best for you here!
