Programs & Enrichment

What the PTC funds.

Buses, admission, and experiences beyond the classroom — the PTC helps make field trips possible for every student, every year.

Volunteer-led art lessons that bring famous artists and hands-on projects into every classroom, several times a year.

Hands-on science lessons that turn "why?" into experiments in every classroom.

Oregon's statewide reading competition — Walker teams read, quiz, and battle their way through a great book list.

A whole week celebrating books, with themed days, guest readers, and every student reading for the love of it.

The classic end-of-year day of games, relays, and recess-level joy — equipment and supplies funded by the PTC.

A district track and field day for students in specialized programs — the PTC helps Walker's athletes get there and shine.

Every teacher gets PTC funds to spend on what their classroom actually needs — no paperwork, no waiting.

Supporting social-emotional learning at Walker — resources that help students manage feelings, build friendships, and thrive.

Staff can apply for PTC grants to fund big ideas — special projects, classroom tools, and new opportunities for students.
