This week in advisory class, your child took part in lessons focused on developing three essential life skills: resilience, self-management, and a growth mindset. These skills empower students to navigate challenges, recover from setbacks, and believe in their ability to grow through effort and support.

Students engaged in discussions about whether success is driven more by talent or effort. They learned that consistent practice and effective strategies often outweigh natural ability. The class also explored the unique strengths each person brings to the table, promoting self-confidence and empathy.

A key part of the week involved sharing experiences with mistakes—and reflecting on what was learned from them. This helped normalize failure as an important part of the learning process.

Come celebrate the incredible talent of our WCSD student musicians—and the community support that makes it possible.

WHEN: Thursday, May 15 | 6–7:30 PM

WHERE: Tice Creek School – On the Green

WHAT: Featuring 5th–8th grade band students from across the district

Thanks to your generosity, WCEF continues to fund music education for all TK–8 WCSD students—providing access to skilled music teachers, enriching curriculum, and opportunities to shine on stage.

Let’s keep the music playing—together.

WCEF is proud to partner with Rebecca Burns as a Gold Partner for the 2024-25 school year. 

About being a WCEF partner, Rebecca says, "Being a Realtor in Walnut Creek is about being a part of our great community. There is so much excitement in helping my clients find, negotiate, and close on a home. However, my favorite part happens later. Getting emails about home additions, texts and pictures of new babies, and waves and wags around town...these are the things that fuel my passion for real estate. Happy homeowners, now a part of our community, make my job truly a privilege.

 

Beyond real estate, supporting causes like the Walnut Creek Education Foundation is a priority. Investing in our youth is investing in our collective future.

 

I’m grateful for the chance to connect in 2025; let's make this year one of connection and positive impact together!”
