The Curriculum Department joined Mrs. Morales’ class at Walker today to teach about holiday celebrations in Italy. Students helped to make pizzelles, an Italian cookie, and learned about traditional activities specific to Italian culture. Students are “traveling” around the world daily and learning about many cultures in the process.




Walsh STEAM Lab had a glow week celebration this week. Students worked as a team to build, create, and also have some fun! The students had a blast! A few of the students' favorite activities were: building a Marble run with glowing and light up marbles, building a glowing racetrack, and building with glowing hashtag blocks. If your child attends Walsh, be sure to ask them about all the fun activities!
