WatersToday now supports all sports programming at Waters, including sports/chess teams, coach stipends, team uniforms and equipment. Waters needs $12,500 for the 2016-17 school year to keep these programs running, and the Wildcat Walkathon is a great way for students and families to help raise these funds!
Our goal is for each student to raise $50 in pledge donations.
- Consider encouraging your child to identify five to 10 family and friends and ask each person for $5–$10 pledge.
- Promote online pledging by helping your child create a video to text or email to friends and family.
Pledge sheets are due this Wednesday, June 1.
Sign up here to volunteer.
