WALNUT, CA – Over 1,300 staff members from Walnut Valley Unified School District gathered at Walnut High School on March 7 for the district’s annual Mini-U, a dedicated day of professional learning, collaboration, and growth.
The event kicked off with an energizing keynote address from speaker Kevin Bracey, inspiring educators and staff to embrace student connection and excellence in their work. Participants then engaged in more than 50 breakout sessions, selecting from a variety of professional development topics designed to enhance teaching strategies, leadership skills, and student support services.
