WHY RAISE FUNDS FOR PTO?
Do you wonder why PTO needs to raise money? Without PTO funds, many of the field trips, classroom parties, assemblies, festivals, teacher appreciation, and much more that Walker has for our children would not happen. Make sure you support the auction so PTO can help make our children's experiences at Walker that much more enriched.

Here's a reminder of what matters most. Enjoy!

AUCTION RECAP
