2010 U.S. Census

This year the Federal government will be conducting the census. The census is very important for our communities to get its fair share of federal dollars (specifically $400 billion) for vital programs like education, healthcare, emergency services, etc. The census also determines how many congressional seats California will get.

This year the U.S. Census has kept it very simple – “10 questions, 10 minutes”

Census questionnaires will be mailed home the first week in March and need to be returned by April 1.

With your help we can assure everyone gets counted.

The Census website is www.2010.census.gov

Wildcat Roar

We are the WILDCATS,
Walteria is where we're at.

We pledge to treat our teachers right,
and to our friends we'll be polite.

We're here to learn, and do our best,
We promise to try and pass each test.

Wildcat roar-we say it loud,
The blue and gold-we say it proud!
