🏕️📣 CAMP ROLL CALL! Meet our new paraprofessional!

Hi Walnut Springs! My name is Emma Daige, and I am so excited to join the team as an ACC Paraprofessional. I am a DSISD graduate and a former student of Walnut Springs Elementary. Before joining Walnut Springs, I worked in ABA, supporting children with autism. I am also currently pursuing a degree in psychology at Texas State University. Outside of work, I love reading, watching horror movies, and spending time with my friends and family. I am looking forward to getting to know everyone and beginning this new chapter!

Check out our Collaborative Dot Garden!

Kindergarten through 2nd grade read The Dot and discovered that a simple dot can become something wonderfully unexpected! Each student created their own colorful dot using coffee filters and colors of their choice. When the filters were sprayed with water, the colors danced and blended together, creating beautiful, one-of-a-kind designs.

Once the dots were dry, our 5th grade artists stepped in to help transform them into flowers. Together, they arranged and mounted the flowers onto poster board, turning hundreds of individual creations into one magical 3D collaborative garden!

This special artwork is a celebration of creativity, collaboration, and the idea that everyone can make their mark. We hope it brings a little color and a lot of joy to our hallway!
