Walker Families,
Come see the wonderful blend of traditions and customs that make up our unique school family. We look forward to seeing you as an attendee or as a presenter, hosting a table!
If you would like to host a table, the table setup begins at 4:00. We invite students' families to bring items and/or special food from their family’s culture or tradition to share with others. This is not meant to be a meal, but rather a sample taste. Some examples may be baklava, enchiladas, nahari, the cookies you make and eat on family pajama night, or any recipe that is meaningful to you. Tables will be set up for you, and you will be able to decorate an area of your table with information posters or other items that tell the story of your family or culture. Your family may want to dress in clothing that represents your culture or traditions.
This event is designed for Walker families and staff to share their culture, traditions, and food with one another. We look forward to seeing you as an attendee or as a presenter while hosting a table.

Kindness Captains Kick-Off our Raise Craze Fundraiser!
This is a unique way for us to raise money for our school while making an impact in our community. During this fundraiser, students ask friends and family for donations via the online Raise Craze platform while paying it forward by serving others. What a great way for us to teach our students the importance of kindness and gratitude while raising much needed funds.
Students will spend time serving, not selling! Registration Link: my.raisecraze.com/AM969HM
