It was energizing to see families and staff come together as we begin this new school year. A huge thank you goes out to the spectacular PTSA parent and student team who provided the amazing meals for us. The PTSA truly made the evening special and helped set the tone for a year of connection and collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we move through these first weeks, I want to highlight how important PTSA membership and Foundation support are to our school. These two groups are essential to helping us thrive. Whether it\u2019s funding programs, supporting teachers, or meeting the needs of families, the Foundation and PTSA provide resources when they are needed most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our short week together was a nice pause before we launch into Week 4. With interims right around the corner, this is a great time to encourage your students to get involved. Maggie Walker offers so many opportunities\u2014clubs, sports, volunteering, and leadership roles. Engagement builds not only school pride but also a stronger, more supportive community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you to everyone who has already joined PTSA or contributed to the Foundation. Your commitment makes a difference every single day. And if you haven\u2019t yet, now is the perfect time to get involved. Together, we can ensure that every student, family, and teacher has the support they need to thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Friday Thoughts<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>During today\u2019s lunch period, a group of students at Maggie Walker Governor\u2019s School chose to participate in a student-led walkout connected to the national \u201cGreat Walkout.\u201d Students who participated conducted themselves respectfully, and staff members were present to ensure everyone remained safe. Because the event took place during lunch, no instructional time was disrupted. Students who did not participate continued with their regular lunch activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At MLWGS, we are proud of our students\u2019 thoughtfulness and engagement with important issues. We remain committed to balancing opportunities for student expression with maintaining a safe, structured environment for all. Thank you for your ongoing support as we work together to ensure both the well-being and growth of all our students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At MLWGS, we live the Walker Way through courage, compassion, community, and collaboration. Let\u2019s carry these values forward into the weeks ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Go Dragons!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the announcements for the week\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Let\u2019s go to Belize for the 2026 Spring Break!<\/strong>Has your student ever dreamed about traveling the world?
