Congratulations!

Congratulations!  

to the E. D. Walker Middle School Band and the 4 other Dallas Middle Schools to make 1st division ratings at UIL Regional Evaluations this past week.  Walker is the only CC school to achieve this rating and one of only two comprehensive middle schools.  The DISD schools to make 1st division ratings are:

Travis Academy    2-1-1
Greiner Academy  1-1-1
Atwell Academy   1-2-1
Quintanilla MS      1-1-1
E.D. Walker MS  1-1-1

I am very proud of the work our students have put in.  They showed a lot of effort and grit.  Way to go Timberwolves!

Sandy Lake Music Festival is in two weeks.  Saturday, April 26

We will take two bands to perform at this event.  6th, 7th and 8th graders who have done the following will qualify for the trip:

1. Must be making an "A" 90% or higher in band
2. Must pass off the assigned music with a 90% or higher
3. Must pass all classes with a 70% or higher on the next report card.  Grading ends next Friday 4/18
4. Must attend 5 or more before school rehearsal between now and April 26.

This will be a fun day in the park for our kids and families.  Talk to your students about qualifying for the event.

Calling all parents.  We want you to be a part of our day at Sandy Lake.  Here is what we need...

• Grillmasters to man the grills for a cookout
• leaders to take groups through the park
• leaders for games.  Bring footballs, frisbees, volleyball, soccer ball for game
