Walgrove Weekly Message

Dear Walgrove Families and Staff, 

Thank you for coming out to our Second Annual International Food Fest where there were SO MANY CRAZY-DELICIOUS DELECTABLES! Our families brought foods from all over the world representing countries and cities, such as Iran, Syria, Canada, Mexico, Tunisia, Turkey, the Phillipines, Ireland, Brazil, Japan, New York, New Jersey, Chicago, Philadelphia and more!

Thank you, parent Joan Bartoli, for securing performances from Grupo La Roza Danza Folklorica and UCLA's Samahang Dance Troupe and Farmer Adam for a cooking demo using Walgrove eggs and produce. Thank you, also, to the MANY parents who spent hours decorating, setting up, hobnobbing, tearing down, and taking photos for the yearbook (way better than these via my phone while I was no-doubt holding a plate of kebob), and to Omar for working overtime to keep us all safe, clean and tidy!























This is some of what is coming up this week at Walgrove:

MON
Williams facilities inspection (unless rescheduled due to the one-day notice -- we will keep you all posted). In the meantime, remember the daily mantra: clean, organized, no heavy ojbects up high, no daisy-chained electrical situations in classrooms, no appliances in classrooms, no visible leaks, and no additional manifestations of unsafe conditions (indeed, you can only control that which you can control)
