Introducing the First Annual Winter Maker's Market!

We’re excited to announce the Walker Elementary PTO’s First Annual Winter Maker's Market! This special initiative invites students to create unique crafts or art pieces guided by talented local artists and creators. Each student will have the opportunity to work on their project at school and take home a personalized creation to gift their families during the holiday season.

The Winter Maker's Market is all about inspiring creativity, fostering hands-on learning, and building a deeper connection between our students and the arts. We’re proud to offer this experience, ensuring that each child can share their handmade piece of joy with their loved ones.

Stay tuned for more updates on this heartwarming new tradition brought to you by the Walker PTO!
