We will be holding our Junior High Dance on Friday, April 12th, right after school! The dance is open to all Waltham 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students.
A special shout out to alumni, Isabelle Andrews, who received the Illinois Principals Association John Ourth Student Excellence Award as an 8th grader, and received it again as a senior at LP this year! Way to go Isabelle; your Waltham family is proud of you!
Congratulations to our 8th graders, Ava B. and Grant H., who were this year's Illinois Principals Association John Ourth Student Excellence Award recipients! These two students are leaders in our school. They shine inside and outside of the classroom!
Tonight's the night! Please join us for Family Reading Night from 5-6:30pm!
Don't forget Read Across America Week begins tomorrow.
Looking for a few more volunteers for the book fair. If you can spare a few hours, we would appreciate it! It’s super easy and watching the joy the students have coming to the fair is the best! Duty’s are listed in the sign up.
