Walgrove is a place where the whole community works together to provide our students an extraordinary “whole child” education and a place to thrive. FOW raises funds to support enrichment programs that go above and beyond the standard LAUSD curriculum – programs focused on the arts and outdoors that set Walgrove apart from other schools. FOW raises for:

Outdoor Education, which engages all students at least weekly in the Wildlands, our one-acre native garden, and in our organic edible garden and orchard where students plant, grow, harvest, prepare and eat organic veggies. We have chickens too!
PS Arts & Musical Theater programs, led by the PS Arts organization, provide weekly theater to all students, as well as a Spring musical, led by professional artists who help our students gain confidence and .
STEAM Studio, led by two local artists who are also former Walgrove parents, is a weekly hands-on interdisciplinary program allowing students to create, imagine, experiment, and learn using a variety of materials.
Physical Education – that’s right, LAUSD doesn’t fund gym class!
Free yearbooks for all students
