Walgrove Weekly Message

Dear Walgrove Families and Staff, 

A huge and mighty congratulations to Mr. Donzell and the three incredible casts of "Mary Poppins" who put on over nine outstanding shows these past two weeks. What an amazing run! 

Thank you to all the many parents who volunteered so many hours to help Donzell realize his vision (and Donzell and the students to realize their collective vision!)

Thank you to the staff who made so many accommodations along the way and in many cases volunteered as well. 

The unique Walgrove attributes of intellectual and emotional risk-taking, confidence, collaboration, and unfettered joy were all on grand display. 

We have three more weeks of intellectual and emotional risk-taking, confidence, collaboration, and mightly joy before our fifth-graders move on to middle school (OMG!) and all others move up the trajectory toward whatever superb adventures await next!
