Ready, set, BOW!

The Walton Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization with a primary mission to reduce class sizes by supporting staffing needs. Each year, the Foundation gears up for its capital campaign to raise the funds needed to support additional campus hires. It is a big lift! The campaign also celebrates Walton Raider donor spirit in the community. Donors at any level receive a WHSF magnet, and donors at the $250 level or higher receive a mailbox bow. Senior class donors will receive a special mailbox ribbon! Help us paint the town the Walton Raider Valley blue!

The Walton Foundation is grateful to its student volunteers through the Student Leadership Council. Bow production is an in-house effort! We also recognize the stewardship of our committee chair, Jennifer Sunderland, our parent coordinator who initiated project planning in July to ensure a beautiful community display!

Coming Soon: Homecoming 2025

Heads up, Walton! Homecoming is right around the corner. Hosted by the Student Leadership Council, the homecoming dance will be a dazzling gala affair! Festivities begin October 3rd with the homecoming parade orchestrated by Walton Cheer, and a memorable homecoming game with Walton Football dominating the competition on the evening of October 3rd. The events close out with an epic dance October 4th at 7pm. Ticket information to be posted soon.

Link Grocery Rewards to the Walton Foundation

Quick question for the Walton community. Do you buy groceries? If the answer is yes, consider Kroger for your grocery needs. A simple and free method to support the Walton Foundation is to associate your Kroger Rewards accounts to the Walton High School Foundation Inc. Then, enter your Kroger rewards number (usually your phone number) at each shopping cart check out. Kroger donates to your designated charity just for shopping with them and these funds fulfill Teacher grants! Teacher grants are needs identified by teachers who then submit an application through the PTSA to fund.

Seminar Added for 2025 Study Skills Program

Walton Foundation invites rising high school students and current students to explore our study skills seminars to be held just prior to the start of the new school year. The sessions aim to improve studying methods and habits. Learning specialist and former teacher, Natalie Collins M.Ed. will help your student prepare for high school with guidance on note taking, organization and optimal utilization of class and study resources offered at Walton. A parent must attend with the registered student. Students must be enrolled in Walton.

The seminars will take place in the Lecture Hall inside the Media Center.
Cost is $55 per student registered. A parent MUST attend with the registered student.
Please note that there is limited space due to the size of the Lecture hall.
Registration is not complete until payment is completed through the Paypal link. ***After you hit submit, a Paypal link will launch after 5 seconds***

A year in review, and special thanks

As the 2024-2025 academic year closes, the Walton Foundation reflects on a year of tremendous community support. Your generous contributions to the 50th anniversary capital campaign, and exuberant participation in the annual auction raised monies vital to meeting high school needs.

The WHSF recognizes the time put forth by its executive and general board throughout the year to the mission of the foundation. We note the tireless efforts of President Dayna Teichman

Her stewardship guided major achievements to realize major growth in 2024-2025, including:

A record setting year for fundraising!
Highlighting the McCleod legacy with major garden improvements and new dedication plaques on campus and in the garden.
Funding staffing needs to include a teacher in the English department and a counselor.
Addressing irrigation and planting for the front entrance to promote the sustainability of the front memorial gardens. The garden extension allowed a planting in honor of a family instrumental to establishing the foundation.
Providing essential resources to kickstart the restart of Habitat for Humanity, a longstanding Walton club.
Continuing the WHSF many traditions, including Coffee with the Principal, supporting the Student Leadership Committee, and painting the town blue with the bow campaign!
