HI SENIOR PARENTS, Help Your Senior have the best "last day at Walnut
ever!" Senior Send off day is Thursday Mar 22, their last day of school.
It is a "beach themed", fun filled, field day for the seniors complete with live
music, water games, fabulous food, and a chance for the seniors to say good
by!
Help us make this a great day by volunteering to help us set up, break down,
or chaperone! This event happens rain or shine either on the football field or
in the gym. Parents will be receiving a letter describing the day in further
detail.
Thank you so much for all you do!
If you have any questions, email B. Gordon, bgordon@cinci.rr.com.
