The Walden Weekly

We had a fantastic week at Walden! Our Field Day today was a blast and students enjoyed moving through stations including running, jumping, tugging, and even dancing! Thank you to our PTO for providing delicious popsicles and a great DJ for our students. We are looking forward to a fun last week at Walden!

As a reminder, next Friday is our last day of school and dismissal will take place at 11:40. Students will not eat lunch at school. We will miss our Wildcats tremendously this summer and we can't believe that the year is almost over!

Have a great weekend and we'll see you on Monday!

Emails have been sent to all families of students with overdue library books.

If the book is returned before the end of the year, replacement will not be necessary. Please reach out to Mrs. Lovsin with any questions.
