Let's Celebrate a Year Unlike Any Other
At this stage in the pandemic, we have major online party fatigue—and we know you do too.
That's why we've done everything we possibly could to plan something truly unique. We've come together to support family, friends, and neighbors all year. Now it's time to celebrate our teachers and our school community in true Waters fashion, with a garden party!
Whether you choose to keep it cozy with a party of two or up the ante with a group of 10, the idea here is simple:
Purchase the party package that works best for you, mark your calendar, and celebrate our school community from your backyard. Grab your sundress and seersucker and
we will see you outside on May 22nd.
