Students learned about the importance of what soil is and how good soil helps grow crops.

Hello Walker families,

Due to an outbreak of measles within the US, the SD 104 nursing team would like to take this time to bring to your attention the importance of vaccinations against measles. Although our district is 99% protected, please understand about 90% of people who are not immune to measles (either through vaccination or previous infection) become infected if exposed to the virus. To protect our students and our community, we ask that you take a look at the MMR information attached. Meanwhile, our nursing team continues to work diligently to maintain a healthy learning environment for your student(s).
