The Walnut Acres teachers and staff are grateful for the generosity of the Parent Faculty Club and the Walnut Acres community. As budgets get tighter and spending gets more and more limited, we have put together the following Wish List, identifying our exact needs at Walnut Acres should any outside source wish to contribute to the ongoing success of our students. This list is kept up to date as some needs are met and others are identified. Please contact the PFC president at president@walnutacrespfc.org should you have any questions or interest in helping us meet the many challenges of education today.
