As we kick off Teacher Appreciation Week, let's take a moment to celebrate some of the amazing work one of our fantastic teachers does everyday!
Mrs. Taylor, the 6th grade Career Investigstions teacher, finds creative ways to inspire students to try different careers. First, students explore health sciences. Secondly, while exploring business management and administration, they learned and used skills to manage the day to day operations of a coffee shop online. These future managers practiced decision making, customer service, purchasing supplies, creating a good product, and more!
Way to go Mrs. Taylor! 🧡🧡
As we wrap up SOL season, it's time to celebrate!! Last week, W-G PTA hosted the Spring Fling Dance for our students at it was a blast! 🌸🌻 thanks to the PTA for providing a fun afternoon, snacks, and a great way to decompress for our students!

Our Walker-Grant Tigers dominated in their recent track meet!!! Our runners, throwers, and jumpers came home as winners with a lot of records.
Special shout to our girls 4x100m team (Aydan Carter, Jaida Holmes, Evelyn Westerer, and Adrianna Dunn) and boys 4x400m team (Jaylen Francis-Smith, Trey Rackley, Devon Pinkney, and Cameron Aikens) for coming in first! 🧡
Big congrats to our Walker-Grant Band! They attended Music In the Parks competition at Busch Gardens on Saturday and competed against tons of talented bands. They earned “Superior” which is the absolute highest rating and came in 2nd place out all the MS bands competing in Class 1. They absolutely rocked their performances and then had fun frolicking around the park with their band “family.” Hats off to Band Director, Reba Ortiz, who has been prepping and busily practicing to get them all ready to rock the show! 🧡🎶
Walker-Grant students- Want to serve the community with your friends and have enriching field trips to connect with the community?! Consider applying for NJHS!
This March, NJHS sponsors, Ms. Rahn and Mr. Johnson, took students to University of Mary Washington to partner with @coarumw for their Annual Good Neighbor Day. NJHS students toured campus and participated in different service projects that will benefit Micah Hospitality Center. It was a great opportunity for NJHS students to make a difference and connect with college students! Walker-Grant students, be on the look out for an application soon! 🧡
As Spring Break wraps up, lets celebrate the great weather with one of our favorite spring traditions at Walker-Grant!
