She moved her family to the community specifically for the <a href=\"https:\/\/walshtx.com\/living-here\/education\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">educational programs<\/a> the school district has to offer. Bentley was a part of a board selected by the principal that included teachers as well as parents to help develop an all-encompassing curriculum.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe teachers, principal, as well as the curriculum and how it\u2019s implemented are at the highest levels,\u201d says Bentley. \u201cThey don\u2019t just treat every kid the same, they teach every child in a way that they are able to learn. Hands down, the schools\u2019 forward thinking is one of the best in the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Right before school started, Walsh Elementary School saw great participation from members of our community at its Chalk the Walk event. Each year, families and friends of students gather to write encouraging messages throughout the campus. We were thrilled to participate by showing support for our neighborhood students as they kicked off the 2019-2020 academic year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s tremendous for a child to feel they have a purpose,\u201d says Bentley of Chalk the Walk. \u201cThey are creating an atmosphere to instill positive thinking, encouragement, and giving our children confidence as they move forward in life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Outside of the classroom, we provide spaces within our community designed to enhance the exemplary academics of our school district. Our multidisciplinary <a href=\"https:\/\/walshmakerspace.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Makerspace<\/a> has become a common gathering place for the young and the young at heart. Here, students of all ages are encouraged to explore their creativity, interests and talents through hands-on \u201ctinkering.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot only do you have the Makerspace that promotes traditional learning like home economics,\u201d says Bentley. \u201cBut Walsh also has outdoor activities that promote a healthier child overall.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We believe in student engagement, using both organic and technology-driven environments to encourage collaboration and independent thought.\u00a0 We\u2019ve developed programs where young students are able to maneuver through their curiosities with interactive activities and workshops. From Lego walls to sewing machines and 3D printers, our community continues to welcome an atmosphere of adventure, and most importantly, of learning.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;As the 2019-2020 school year rolls&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":6760,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,4],"tags":[4112,4111],"yst_prominent_words":[4779,4765,4770,4764,4766,1439,69,2199,2582,466,4122,2653,358,1775,1752,2127,4769,4778,20,1438],"class_list":{"0":"post-6727","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-community","8":"category-education","9":"tag-aledoisd","10":"tag-walshelementary"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v14.0.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Our Commitment to Education &bull; WALSH<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"As the 2019-2020 school year rolls full steam ahead in the Aledo School District, the community continues its unwavering commitment to education.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow\" \/>\n<meta name=\"googlebot\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta name=\"bingbot\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/walshtx.com\/news\/education\/our-commitment-to-education\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Our Commitment to Education &bull; WALSH\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"As the 2019-2020 school year rolls full steam ahead in the Aledo School District, the community continues its unwavering commitment to education.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/walshtx.com\/news\/education\/our-commitment-to-education\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"WALSH\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/walshtexas\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-11-06T16:07:56+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-03-24T18:26:28+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/walshtx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/CommitmentToEducation-1.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"937\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@walshtexas\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@walshtexas\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Organization\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/walshtx.com\/#organization\",\"name\":\"Walsh\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/walshtx.com\/\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/walshtexas\",\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/walshtexas\/\",\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/walshtexas\"],\"logo\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/walshtx.com\/#logo\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/walshtx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/walsh-seo.png\",\"width\":600,\"height\":600,\"caption\":\"Walsh\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/walshtx.com\/#logo\"}},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/walshtx.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/walshtx.com\/\",\"name\":\"WALSH\",\"description\":\"Walsh is the next great neighborhood of Fort Worth.
