We Raised $205K for Walton!
Our Walton Community is the best! Thank you so much for making the Foundation’s spring Capital Campaign and Auction fundraisers a success!
We raised $190K through donations this school year and $15K from the Auction for a total of $205K to help reach our goals for the 2022-23 school year. The administration is looking into how best to utilize the funds to add additional staff for the coming year. Next year, we will also work towards adding outdoor dining hall seating and maintaining the campus landscaping and hand sanitizer stations.
If you donated to the Foundation between July 1, 2021 and now, you helped us achieve this wonderful milestone and we thank you!
If you didn’t donate this year, It’s not too late! All donations received from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022 will be applied to our goals for the 2022-23 school year. Since the bulk of our fundraising goes into hiring additional staff, we must raise funds this year, for next year.

Science is a way of thinking. Students will explore several different fields within science through experiments and hands-on activities. Each day will have a different focus, allowing students to experience a variety of scientific concepts. For more details see at: https://www.waltonstem.com/summer-camp
