WE LOVE OUR WALNUT ACRES TEACHERS & STAFF
Our PFC Teacher Appreciation Committee Chairs - Courtney Biagi and Kristi Tyson (thank you ladies!) dropped off some Halloween Treats for our teachers and staff last week. Of course some Halloween popcorn, an ice chest filled with soda and disposable Halloween themed masks would help get the Halloween spirit going. Also, the teachers and staff received their very own Walnut Acres "Keep Calm and Jaguar On" magnets!

Dine & Donate - TODAY! 4pm-8pm
Let us see you in those costumes! Students and families are welcome to dress up and showcase their costumes in their front yard while teachers parade through the neighborhood in their cars. Don't forget to maintain social distance. Here is the map to our parade route to see the best location for you to watch the parade:

Walnut Acres Read-a-Thon 2020"Camp Out with a Good Book"
Pitch a tent in your backyard, grab those flashlights, and get ready to “Camp Out With A Good Book”! This year’s Read-A-Thon is a camping adventure, and will be held Nov. 18th – Dec. 2nd. The Read-A-Thon is a fundraiser that challenges students to use their most important academic skill, READING, to directly support our school. The money raised goes to sustain our PFC-funded initiatives such as reading and math specialists, science aides, and our STEM instructor. Please visit the PFC website for more information, and stay tuned for details on when to pick up your Read-A-Thon participation materials.
