• Good evening, CT Walker families! I hope you have been enjoying this much-needed warmer weather. We have had an amazing couple of weeks with awards and recognitions. As you already know, we have the district spelling bee winner, received MSA's School of Excellence Award and the Title One School of Distinction for the 2nd year in a row, and are once again GA Literacy Leaders for achievement. This week we also received a rather large trophy for having the most minutes read (over 430,000) in the Beanstack challenge for Cluster 2.  

                       This past Friday, our incredible Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl Team, under the amazing coaching of the 2nd most competitive person in our school (I hold that title), won 1st place in the district and will advance to regionals!  Next up, the district Math competition is tomorrow, and I know that our team stands a great chance of winning it all with the great coaching of Ms. Thompson and Ms. Hill.  

     

    The deadline for purchasing Yearbook Ads has been extended to February 15th. The link (below) can be found on CTWPTO.org. 

     

    Ms. Mays is holding volunteer training this Thursday in the media center at 10:30 for new volunteers and 11:30 for recertifications. Make sure to bring your mandated reporter certificates and a copy of your driver's license.  

     

    If your child is in Primetime, please be sure to pull all the way forward to allow day care vans and buses to get in. For morning carline, students are not to be dropped off prior to 8 AM unless you are staying with them.
