Thank you for all you do to support our teachers!

Family Fix-it Day 5/19 9am-12pm

Family Fix-it Day
Saturday, May 19 9am-12pm
Walden School campus

We invite parents, grandparents, and anyone else who is available to help us make repairs around the school.  We will be filling holes with putty, tightening tables and chairs, fixing broken furniture and materials, and doing any electrical work or plumbing work that needs to be addressed.

PCC Election Info

We are looking for potential PCC presidents and vice presidents as well as committee chairs to help keep alive those things that are going well here at Walden and to guide us in efforts to improve those areas that need improvement.  To help support our school, faculty, administration, and students next school year by running for the offices of PCC president or vice president, please submit a 1-3 paragraph bio to waldenpcc@gmail.com by midnight Thursday, May 17.  All who wish to run will be added to the ballot, and we hope to see representatives from upper-grade as well as elementary-school parents.

Elections will be held by secret ballot online via SurveyMonkey beginning the week of May 21 and continuing through June 4.  Questions?  Please email waldenpcc@gmail.com.  Thank you for your continued help and support!

School Library Books Due 5/24

Our children have been enjoying the "new" library these past couple months, and we want to remind families to please return all school library books the last week of school.  (Some books may say "Discovery Junior High," as this was our school's former name.)  We hope to get all the books back so our students have lots of choices when they return in August.

Also, if you wish to donate new or used books to help expand our offerings, please consider the following student and teacher "wishes:"

• contemporary, realistic fiction (as opposed to fantasy fiction) published after 2000
• "Easy Readers" and "Intermediate" books for beginning readers (e.g., Magic Tree House, Junie B. Jones, Encyclopedia Brown, Cam Jansen, Flat Stanley, Amelia Bedelia, Judy Moody, Stink, Rainbow Magic Fairies)
• Spiderman, Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Trek, and other guy show/movie spinoff books
• Percy Jackson series---we have one full set but would love additional copies
• children's poetry books
• children's joke books
• children's foreign language dictionaries and books written in other languages with English translations
  
• comic books and manga (Japanese comic book style)
• Diary of a Wimpy Kid series

Hardcover books are always appreciated, but paperbacks are great, too.  Donated books may be deposited on the library desk upstairs or left in a labeled box at the front desk.  Thank you!!
