about this website
Hi! Thank you for visiting our website and supporting our eighth grade Community Service Project. We created this so it is easier for students and parents to find gifts and donations for the wonderful teachers here at Walker. The Teacher Profiles are categorized by grade level, and from there you can filter by last name. (Please keep in mind that only the teachers who filled out our form has a page, so not every teacher will appear here!)
We hope you find this website helpful!
