"Passion Into Action"                       WHS PTSA LINK

Take a second and imagine Walton HS with no volunteer support...

It would be difficult to duplicate the extraordinary success that Walton has achieved without the contributions of volunteers. Every day, parents, teachers, students and members of the community come together to give their time, talents and resources to a make a positive impact on our school. The PTSA's new program, "Turning YOUR Passion into Action," will capitalize on the wealth of abilities and talents of the parent population in the Walton district.  

A brief survey, designed to identify subject experts across many fields, will be used to offer parents and members of the community the opportunity to meaningfully utilize their skills to meet specific needs at Walton.  Skill-based volunteerism taps into the incredible potential of our community and exponentially impacts the quality of the educational experience at Walton. 

Think about your skills, your hobbies and interests, and consider the ways you would like to share these your expertise at Walton.  The survey should take about 2 minutes to complete. Ready?

     Here is the link to take the survey:: "Passion Into Action" 

As an added bonus, Zeal, a modern eatery in Market Place off Johnson Ferry,

has donated $50 gift certificates that will be awarded to (3) lucky winners of a random drawing of survey participants!  You can start reaping the benefits of volunteering just by filling out the survey.  *Forward this e-blast to your spouse, friend or neighbor to complete their own survey.  Thanks for your support!
