Fundraising Highlights
- The Waters Pledge Drive was its most successful to date, raising $121,000 from more than 200 donors! We are grateful for the support from our parents, friends and community sponsors who continue to make our Pledge Drive a success. To celebrate, a few teachers came together to get SLIMED by our Junior High Students. A special thank you to Ms. Novak, Ms. Aguilar, Ms. Booczko and Ms. Heilbrunn for volunteering to participate in the activities!
- The newly rebranded Waters Maker Fair raised more than $4,000 and showcased a number of talented local artists and makers. The famous Cake Walk and Giving Tree returned ensuring fun for the entire family.
- Waters' Big Night brought together 250 community members and raised $80,000! We lept back to the 80's and celebrated our wonderful school community. For the first time, we dedicated a portion of the proceeds of Big Night directly to one initiative; Classroom Libraries. Thanks to you, we raised nearly $15,000 for books, seating and shelving for our students!
- Unfortunately, the Wildcat Walk a Thon was cancelled this year. However, we hope to make next year better than ever!
- Local businesses contributed nearly $20,000 through WatersToday business sponsorships, Waters Dines Out and Pledge Drive giveback events. Thank you!
