WPA Mission

The Walden Parent Association (WPA) supports Walden’s mission and cultivates an atmosphere of volunteerism, fellowship, and respect. It opens communication among parents, students, and staff supports fundraising, and social and educational activities for both Walden School and the community at large.

EVERY WALDEN PARENT IS A MEMBER OF THE WPA.
You have the privilege and opportunity to take part in decisions that directly affect your children. The WPA organizes an annual speaker series, manages all school volunteer opportunities, teacher appreciation weeks, gifts to the school, and coordinates a number of school-wide events throughout the year such as Thoreau Down, WPA skating parties, and the Halloween Monster Mash.

In addition, Walden parents regularly serve on the Board of Trustees, participate daily as classroom parents and reading buddies, and are overall actively involved in the school community

In past years, the WPA proudly purchased SMARTBoards, patio furniture for the library courtyard, microscopes for the high school science labs, nine amplified audio systems for classroom use, and a new stage curtain and blinds.

WALDEN CLASS AMBASSADOR PROGRAM

FOR PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS

The WPA is proud to present the Walden Class Ambassador Program! Our excellent team of parent class representatives is available to provide support and resources for all families.

 
 

OUTREACH WITHIN AND OUTSIDE THE WALDEN FAMILY

Class ambassadors have a passion for Walden and a desire to advance the school. They are instrumental in strengthening relationships within our Walden Family.

Ambassadors serve as parent liaisons by inviting fellow class parents to events, educating them on the Walden Fund, and providing support to new families.
