Thank you to all who RSVPed for Monday’s Title 1 and PTO Art night event. I’m looking forward to spending time with the Walnut Square Community creating art! In other PTO news, The Walnut Square PTO is having a Walnut Square t-shirt fundraiser from now until March 27th. Here is the link to order: https://www.customink.com/fundraising/walnut-square-t-shirts-7987
The Scholastic Book Fair is coming to Walnut Square. On Wednesday, March 12th, students will have the opportunity to shop at the Scholastic Book Fair. If parents go to scholastic.com/bf/walnutsquareelementarysch, you can set up electronic payments for your children instead of sending them with money. Mrs. Greene has sent that information home with students. Please contact her if you have any questions.
I hope you all have a great weekend as we spring ahead!
Sincerely,
Jen Rubera
Principal
