"Fri. After-School Clubs" Begin 9/9
Wondering how to bridge the gap between the Friday
12:15pm Elementary and the 2:30pm Middle/High School dismissal times?
Looking for fun, educational experiences for your elementary-aged children, K-5th grade?
Walden's Parent Community Council (PCC) is pleased to present a series of after-school clubs on Friday afternoons beginning Sept. 9. These clubs will allow students to sample a wide range of learning activities, from botany to yoga, hosted by parents experienced in the field. Parents will be background checked and will always work in pairs or larger groups. Your children's safety and well-being are of our utmost concern.
Our schedule for the clubs will be
Club #1 will be a Track & Field Club hosted by Lincoln Blumell, a BYU professor and parent of a fourth-grader here at Walden. This club will run for six weeks, 9/9-10/14. Though there will be no required fees for the clubs, we do request a $1-2 per week donation to help cover the cost of our equipment, if you are able to donate.
Club #2 will be a Music History Club hosted by Tami Niven, a music and piano teacher and parent of a Walden first-grader. In Music History Club, students will learn about the four musical periods by listening to key compositions and interacting with the music through dance, art, and song. This club will run for seven weeks, 9/9-10/28.
To sign up or ask questions, please email us at waldenpcc@gmail.com.

What's 4 Lunch
This past week, Walden began a new school-lunch partnership with “What’s 4 Lunch” (W4L), a new company started by our former lunch director, Shelbi Moore. The lunch program began Monday, Aug. 29, when upper-school students were back on campus.
Lunches cost $2.50, regardless of the quantity purchased. Lunches may now be purchased in either one-week or one-month increments. The ordering options differ for vegetarian lunches. Although most elementary students will not eat lunch on Fridays because of early dismissal, Walden is on the "five-day-per-week" schedule because upper-grade students will eat lunch on Fridays. To order lunches, please go to www.whats4lunchinc.com and click on "The Store" on the left-hand side of the page. You will need to create a brief customer profile. The site also contains a menu.
Please note: Orders must be placed before 8am of the day you want lunch served. Also, orders must be placed online; Walden is no longer accepting cash for lunch tickets. You will receive a confirmation email; however, in my experience, students do not need to bring in any form of proof that you have paid for their lunches. W4L has a list of those who have paid.
Walden (with the help and generosity of W4L) will continue to subsidize the cost of lunch for families whose family income level qualifies for this service. Please let Sharon Beecroft know if you need additional information on the reduced lunch program.
