At our recent PTA meeting, Mrs. Portsmith presented on Building Grit and Resilience in Children, and her presentation was so well received!

One parent shared that she left feeling better equipped with the tools and understanding to support her own children. She also shared how grateful she felt to have such a caring, thoughtful, and knowledgeable counselor in our school to help guide our children.

What a gift our counselors are to our students, families, and entire school community! We are so grateful for the heart and expertise they bring to their work every day.

SURPRISE! We had a pop-up dance party at Walnut today!

At 2:55, the music started, and our Tigers got a surprise attendance celebration right in the hallway! We love seeing our students at school, learning, growing, and being part of all the fun. We were so happy to celebrate with everyone who was here!

Missed this one? That’s OK! You never know when the next attendance celebration might pop up, and we want YOU to be there!

🏕️📣 CAMP ROLL CALL: Meet our new ACC paraprofessional!

My name is Jessica Flores and I’m so excited to join Walnut Springs as an ACC Special Ed aide! A bit about me, I attended Texas State University where I got my bachelor’s degree in psychology and I have a background working in ABA, supporting children with autism. Outside of work, you can find me visiting coffee shops and thrift stores, line dancing, and spending time with my cat.

🎶 Starting the morning with the 7 Habits!🎶

Our 1st graders kicked off the day by proudly reciting the 7 Habits song! What a fun way to build leadership, community, and a positive mindset right from the start. We love seeing our Tigers putting the Leader in Me habits into action! 🐯✨
