A Message From Our Proud Principal

Hello Walnut Hills Families,

What an amazing week it’s been at Walnut Hills! Our halls have been buzzing with excitement as we wrapped up Parent-Teacher Conferences and another fantastic Scholastic Book Fair! 📖💫

It was such a joy to see so many families connecting with teachers, celebrating student progress, and stocking up on great new reads to enjoy at home. The smiles, conversations, and enthusiasm for learning made this week truly special!

A huge thank you goes out to our incredible teachers and staff, who have been juggling so much with such care and dedication. From long conference evenings to supporting our students and families every day, your hard work and heart do not go unnoticed.💐

Thank you as well to our families for your continued partnership and support — it’s what makes our Walnut Hills community so strong and special. 💙

Wishing everyone a restful and joy-filled weekend — you’ve all earned it! 🌟

Kindly,

Mrs. Williams

Principal, Walnut Hills Elementary

Yay! Thank You So Much For the Candy Donations!

This month's theme is gratitude and generosity, and goodness gracious, you have certainly shown us both! We are overflowing with gratitude for all the candy donations you have so generously shared with our teachers. You have truly spoiled them, and we cannot thank you enough!

If you happen to have any extra candy, we would happily welcome more! So, please keep us in mind during your next candy purge. We'd love to keep our teachers fueled with a little chocolatey goodness throughout the rest of the school year!

Thank you again for your kindness, generosity, and for always finding ways to make our Walnut Hills community so special. We are so lucky to have such wonderful families!

Share Table!

Dear Walnut Hills Families,

We are excited to announce that our school will soon be launching a Share Table program in the cafeteria to help reduce food waste while ensuring all students have access to extra nutritious food during the school day! To make this program a success, we encourage all students to continue coming through the breakfast and lunch lines to select a full, balanced meal and take only what they intend to eat. A select list of unopened, factory-sealed items or whole fruit they choose not to eat can be placed in our designated share bins, where classmates who need a little extra food can enjoy them, free of charge.

Please be aware that share tables can present an exposure risk for children with food allergies. If you have any specific concerns regarding your student's food allergies, please reach out to nurse Jamie at 720-554-3807.
