Thank you, Waters Community – WE DID IT! 
November 14, 2017
​The
WatersToday Annual Pledge Drive was a great success! We met our goal and raised more than $77,000! A huge thank you to our fundraising co-chairs, Leah Rieger and Jessica Kaune, and to their team for getting the word out and engaging local businesses to achieve this goal. And thank you to all who donated and came out to celebrate at the Thanks for Giving party last night!

While we filled the Waters backpack, it can always use additional funds to support our amazing school programs. To donate or to learn more, visit our Pledge Drive page.
