Have you donated to the JAGUAR FUND?
We are $65,000 away from reaching our goal of raising $175,000!
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!
The suggested donation for the 2024-2025 school year is $65 per month or a one-time donation of $650, per child.
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.
