It’s Art Show Time!

Please join us for the 2024 Walnut Acres show on May 15th from 6-8pm. 

This evening of fun and creativity is an opportunity for families to enjoy the beautiful work of our talented Walnut Acres student artists. The students have made things all year in Mrs. Kyono’s art class and this incredible event is where we showcase your students’ work. Every class will have a display and every child will be featured. 

In addition to class displays, we invite every student to enter their own individual piece of art. So please mark your calendar and encourage your kids to start making, painting, drawing, sculpting, and collaging their own unique pieces!

Volunteer sign-ups are HERE and individual entry submission forms are HERE. You may also visit the art show section of the PFC website for more information.

Morning Drive Thru 

Important Message! Please make sure to drive SLOWLY in our Walnut Acres School Zone, PLEASE do NOT use the driveway as a crossing to the school either by bike or foot.  Your students’ safety is our utmost concern and do not want their safety endangered. Lastly, please observe all “No Parking” signs and have your students exit the car by the passengers side only.  It’s crucial for the safety of students!

Thank you, Families, for all of your help!

Have you donated to the JAGUAR FUND?

The suggested donation for the 2024-2025 school year is $65 per month or a one-time donation of $650, per child.

The Jaguar Fund is the Parent Faculty Club’s primary source of funds to bridge the gap between public funding and the true cost of our children’s education at Walnut Acres. 

Anyone that donates will receive a Walnut Acres Adventures Awaits car magnet showing their support!

Our Goal is 100% Participation. Understanding that every family situation is different, the goal of the Jaguar Fund is 100% Participation, regardless of the dollar amount. No amount is too small, and every dollar will make a difference for our school.

Please donate by clicking the LINK HERE!
