About PTA | Activities | Monthly Newsletter

Walnut Grove's PTA is a local unit organized under the authority of the Tennessee Congress of Parents and Teachers, a branch of the National Congress of Parents and Teachers. The objective of our PTA is to:

• promote the welfare of  our children
• secure adequate laws for the care and protection  of children
• bring into closer relation the home and the school
• develop efforts between educator's and the general public that will
• secure the highest advantages in physical, mental, social and spiritual education for our children.

To accomplish these objectives, the WGES PTA promotes educational programs directed toward parents, teachers and the general public through conferences, committees, projects and meetings.

Membership in the PTA is available to everyone, whether parent, grandparent, teacher or friend of Walnut Grove. An annual membership drive is conducted in the fall of each school year when dues are collected ($5 per member), however, membership is still available throughout the year.

Join the WGE PTA!

It's only $5 per person to get involved! Each member receives a school directory, a PTA Membership card with discounts to local stores and more. Parents, spouses and grandparents are welcome to join. In fact, it's really nice to have 2 copies of the school directory: one for home and one for the office or car.

Grade level PTA Meetings are held once a year. You will also be treated to a musical performance led by our music teacher Ms. West.
