This Week at Waters

March 15, 2024

Waters Families,

We had three talented, bold students make their statements in our student LSC Candidate forum this afternoon: Niko Weber, Abigail Lazzara and Caelan Gaubatz. The students chose Caelan Gaubatz to represent them on the Local School Council next year. Congratulations!

The Parent & Community Candidate Forum was earlier this week on Wednesday evening in the gym. You can see the recording on YouTube. (The actual forum starts 6 minutes into the video.) The guidelines for presenting identification to vote in the LSC election are listed toward the end of the newsletter.

Big Night is coming up in a month! Big Night is one of our two major annual fundraisers and also a great opportunity to get plugged into the Waters community. Much of the event is already organized, so new volunteers don’t have to take on huge responsibilities. You can “shadow” a current committee member to learn the ropes, while lending a hand. Please contact WatersToday to join in!

With Kindness,
Mr. R.
