Honoring Everyday Heroes

Walnut Bend Elementary took a few moments on Friday, September 11 to honor our everyday heroes with our Heroes Parade. Students honored their heroes by dressing as their teacher, their mom or dad, doctors, nurses, policemen, firemen, President Obama, astronauts, scientists, a Texas Ranger and even a friend. Several boys dressed as Mr. B (aka 4th grade teacher, Mr. Bainbridge). The annual Heroes Parade began after the events of 9/11 to remember those we lost and to celebrate those who serve.

She said, "Yes!"

The lesson was all about love at Walnut Bend Elementary on Friday, August 28.  Fourth grade teacher Ernie Bainbridge invited his girlfriend, Lindsey Waddy, to come to the school and meet his class for the first time.  Little did she know she was walking into a surprise marriage proposal and all the kids were in on it.  An entire Kindergarten class circled around Waddy with flowers, a 4th grader presented her with roses, and then Bainbridge dropped to one knee and proposed. After Waddy said yes, the fourth graders cheered and dropped confetti from a balcony above. It all happens in the West!

August 24, 2009 - First Day of School!

There was a lot of excitement on the first day of school at Walnut Bend! Students were ready to get back to school to see friends and teachers and to start exercising their brains. Our newest students, Pre-K and Kindergarten, had a great day! Take a look and see for yourself.
