William Walker
Parent Teacher Club
A parent- and staff-run nonprofit that supports every student at William Walker Elementary — powered by volunteers, funded by families.
About the PTC
Family & community support for every Wildcat.
The William Walker Parent Teacher Club is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organized to provide family and community support for the students, staff, and administration of William Walker Elementary.
We enhance and supplement every student's education through volunteerism and fundraising — paying for enrichment programs and opportunities that reach all students enrolled at the school.
Noncommercial, nonsectarian, and nonpartisan. Voting membership is open to all parents and guardians of William Walker students; school staff are honorary members.
