Waters Families,


One of our own Waters Wildcat families was featured on WBEZ this week! The interview centers on the new album from the Q Brothers. Your students may recognize the name of the album "Notice X Wonder", since it inspired by phrasing used in Waters' math curriculum.


Today is the first ever combined EcoArt Fest and Wildcat Bash! Thank you to Mr. Batdorf, Mr. Landis, Ms. Rovito and Ms. Zapata as well as Friends of Waters for all the care you have put into preparing for today's festivities. Look forward to seeing you there!


With kindness,

Mr. R.
