5th & 6th Grade: Out in the Community on Another Experiential Learning Trip 5th & 6th Grade: Out in the Community on Another Experiential Learning Trip

zoom_out_map

By Mr. Hill & Mrs. Thompson

The 5th and 6th grade classes were fortunate to take a trip to the home of Travis and Heidi Andrews. Bobby Farlice-Rubio, formerly of the Fairbanks Museum, showed the class around land near Coles Pond. Students learned about erosion and changes over time, while also investigating aquatic life in a beaver pond. It was engaging and educational. Thank you to the Andrews family for making this opportunity happen.

Walden PTA Holiday Fair: Auction, Vendors & Spaghetti Dinner Night!

We are excited to support Walden School and our local companies and vendors by organizing a holiday fair and dinner. We hope the community will come out to support local vendors, enjoy a sense of community, meet some of our terrific kids, and possibly bid on some great auction items that will benefit our school. Funds raised go toward field trip expenses, allowing students more enriching opportunities outside of the classroom. Stay tuned, more details will be coming!


If you are interested in donating something to the auction, or if you are a talented person who would like to offer entertainment for some portion of the evening (comedy, music, magic, etc), please contact us at waldenvtpta@gmail.com.


Thank you,

Walden PTA
