Walnut Acres Community Service Day will be on Saturday, February 8 from 8:30-11:30am. Please come help us make the school an even better place for our kids to learn and play. You can sign-up here. We'll need volunteers to bring tools (shovels, spades, hoes, hula hoes, rakes, wheelbarrows). We also recommend bringing work gloves and water.

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!
