Friends of Waters

Friends of Waters' Mission

Friends of Waters was created to raise money meant to supplement the funding Thomas J. Waters Elementary School receives from the Chicago Public School (CPS) system. Working collaboratively and respectfully with our administration and faculty, we strive to enrich the educational experience of our students while fostering a vibrant and supportive school community.
