Walker-Grant wins the School Attendance Award for the month of February! Go Tigers! 🐯🐯



🎶🎶WGMS choir students, led by their amazing teachers Barbara Powell and Heidi Ribel, took District Choral Assessments by storm this week, bringing home superior ratings for all three groups who attended! Congratulations to these talented singers! 🎶🎶





This is what total immersion looks like at Walker-Grant Middle School. Mrs. Pickover's English classes read the book Matilda, saw the play, and created diorama boxes - using Peeps and paint to illustrate their favorite chapter in the book. For the final act, Pickover hosted a Peeps party for families to view the dioramas, hear students discuss the project using learned literary terms, vote for favorites, and taste peeps of all flavors. What a wonderful way to bring her peeps together!











There is no school for students from Friday, March 8th through Friday, March 15th.
Students return to school on Monday, March 18, 2024.


Walker-Grant Middle School staff had double the fun today trying to synchronize their swag for 'Dress Like a Twin Day!'





🎶 Move over Beethoven! Our Walker-Grant Middle School Orchestra students hit all the right notes and stole the show - earning all superior ratings at the recent District Orchestra Assessments held on February 26th at Mountain View High School. Way to go Tigers!
