Walnut Grove R-V School District

Last week in guidance with Mrs. Porter, the 1st Grade enjoyed a trip to the Walnut Grove Fire Station for career exploration. Both the Firemen and the Police showed them around and let them explore. The kids had so much fun and already want to go back. Thank you, Walnut Grove servicemen and women, for keeping our town safe and for building trusting relationships with the students.

Congratulations to this group of Seniors on their decision to attend OTC in the Fall. They attended orientation yesterday where they toured the campus, scheduled their classes, and had fun. Best of luck to each of them, Mrs. Porter
