🎄✨ Last night, Wharton hosted a festive Family Holiday Bingo Party — and it was a blast! Students and parents showed up in their coziest pajamas and enjoyed hot dogs, chips, and our special Grinch Juice! 💚

We kicked off the night with a fun family word search competition, followed by exciting bingo rounds and awesome prizes.

Check out the photos of our Grinch Juice, prizes, and the wonderful families who joined us for a night full of holiday cheer! 🎁🥳

To keep our families informed: A construction company working near Walsh School accidentally hit a gas main, causing a gas leak in the area. As a precaution, the fire department conducted an indoor gas reading at Walsh to ensure the safety of our students and staff. All readings came back at 0%, with no signs of gas in the building, and instruction continued as normal.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation,

Para mantener informadas a nuestras familias: Una empresa de construcción que trabajaba cerca de la Escuela Walsh tocó accidentalmente una tubería de gas, lo que provocó una fuga en la zona. Como medida de precaución, el departamento de bomberos realizó una lectura de gas en el interior de la escuela Walsh para garantizar la seguridad de nuestros estudiantes y personal. Todas las lecturas arrojaron resultados de 0%, sin indicios de gas en el edificio, y las clases continuaron con normalidad.

Gracias por su comprensión y cooperación.
