Raising funds to enrich the Walton High School Community
Whether you or your student opted to return to campus face-to-face or to remain virtual, please make sure you are ready by reviewing all of the changes taking place on Thursday, Nov 5th at Walton’s website. Just one example of those changes will be that the bell schedule will change for all students. Starting Nov 5th, school will be from 8:30am to 3:30pm.
The Walton Foundation is pleased to offer businesses, neighborhoods, groups of friends and families the opportunity to leave a permanent impression at Walton by naming a classroom. Take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to leave a lasting legacy at Walton High School. When you choose to sponsor a classroom, an etched glass plaque will be placed at the entrance to the designated classroom with the name of the business, family (families), neighborhood or honorary designee of the donor’s choice. Additionally, there will be a listing of all sponsors and their classroom numbers on a Directory Plaque at the front of the new school. All classroom naming gifts are tax deductible and all proceeds will benefit the Walton High School community. See one of the classrooms that have already been named by the Lee Family.
To participate in this unique opportunity, please either fill out the Name a Classroom Form or contact the Foundation to have a Walton Foundation Board Member contact you to discuss your classroom choice and plaque wording. Each $5,000 classroom naming donation can come from an individual or a group of individuals combining their donations to reach the $5,000 donation amount.
Students (Gavin L, Kate W, Jax R, Will D, Davis K, Katelyn L, Ethan L, Aiden B, and Jasmine G) helped the Foundation on a beautiful day this past Saturday, Oct 17th make our school grounds more beautiful by cleaning up and laying mulch in the two memorial gardens on either side of the front entrance of the school, as well as the memorial garden outside the lunch area.
Thank you!

Our SLC students want to help you show some “love” to a teacher or staff person at Walton for Halloween. They are offering three (3) different packages that can be purchased as a surprise and an expression of thanks to your recipient. We would love to see every teacher/staff person receive one of these treats. You are welcome to purchase them for a specific person or spread the joy by donating the treat anonymously to anyone who hasn’t received one.
As an added bonus, the Student Leadership Council will donate all of the proceeds from this project to the Center for Children & Young Adults’ (CCYA) Pajama Challenge. CCYA raises funds each fall to purchase pajamas, robes and slippers for its residents. Cobb County School District has also chosen CCYA’s Pajama Challenge as one of its charities. So, your purchase will have two benefits: treating a teacher/staff member and helping raise funds for residents of CCYA!
You have until 10/27 to order your Boo Bags. They will be delivered on 10/29 and 10/30.
