Last week, we proudly celebrated the grand opening of Phase One of our new playground!

This exciting milestone would not have been possible without the incredible support of our families, community members, local businesses, and sponsors. We are so grateful to everyone who contributed to our Playground Renewal Initiative and helped bring this vision to life for our students.

During the celebration, we took the opportunity to thank our supporters and share some exciting news, Phase Two of our playground project is coming this fall! We can't wait to continue creating an amazing outdoor space where our students can play, learn, and grow.

Thank you for helping us build something special for our school community!

We were honoured to welcome Caroline Ehrhardt to Walden Public School prior to her induction into the Greater Sudbury Sports Hall of Fame Class of 2026.

Caroline shared her inspiring journey as a record-setting Canadian triple jumper, coach, and Hall of Fame inductee. Students and staff were moved by her powerful message about perseverance, resilience, and the importance of believing in yourself even when the path to your goals is not a straight one.

Thank you, Caroline, for taking the time to visit our school and inspire our students to keep working toward their dreams. Congratulations on this well-deserved honour!

Just a friendly reminder that we are collecting non-perishable food items for our food drive tomorrow! Thank you for your generosity and support!

Please take a moment to check the lost and found for any missing belongings. All unclaimed items will be donated on Friday following the Book Nook. Thank you for helping us find homes for these forgotten treasures before the end of the school year! 😊

We can’t wait to see you Friday!
