Spring Carnival Auction -- March 29th 4-7pm (more information)
In addition to covering the cost of the programs and activities listed on this page, funds are also allocated to help with class field trip expenses, purchase additional supplies for teachers, etc.

Parent Education
Our local PTA in conjunction with other PTA's is offering a series of parent education lectures throughout the year. These events are free to the public.

Internet Safety Program

Recycle/Environment
The PTA encourages students to take an active role in caring for the environment. Recycling is an easy way to do this while, at the same time, raising extra money for Walker Creek. All paper, newspaper, ink & toner cartridges, and cell phones can all be dropped off at the school. Contact the school office at 817-547-3500 for more information.
Another way to get students involved in the environment is to particpate in the Texas PTA Environment Awareness Contest. This year's theme is "Don't Mess With Texas." Entries due: February

Red Ribbon Week
This "Say No To Drugs" event is in memory of the death of Enrique "Kiki" Camarena. In 1988, the first Nationwide Red Ribbon Campaign was organized to promote awareness of the dangers of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco. The PTA sponsored special activities for each day of the week. Red Ribbon Week will be the October 22-26. This year's theme: "Look at Me, I'm Drug-free!"

Teacher Appreciation
The teachers and staff at Walker Creek are invaluable assets. We want to be sure that each and every one of them knows they are greatly appreciated. Every six weeks, the PTA sponsors a Teacher Appreciation event.
