At the Waterford Unified School District meeting last night, the Board of Trustees honored Waterford Jr. High School volunteer, Ron Kimberling. Mr. Kimberling has supported Waterford’s schools since 1983, when his children were enrolled. In recent years, he has been volunteering at Waterford Jr. High, where he has taken on a variety of supporting tasks as needed, including volunteering for school dances, running the cotton candy machine, stuffing envelopes at the beginning of the year, delivering special orders, decorating, supervising field trips, and much more. He is most famous around campus for being the designated “laminator mechanic,” and has kept the school’s circa 1952 laminator functioning for decades. Waterford Jr. High Principal Yvette Fagundes-Hall described Mr. Kimberling as “a man of great kindness and honor, whose decades of service to our school and district are characterized by his honest desire to see students and schools thrive, and a willingness to step in wherever he is needed.” Join us in thanking Ron for his many years of commitment and service to our district. #WaterfordCares #WUSD

Congratulations to the WUSD Expanded Learning Program for winning "Best Music" in the Christmas Parade. Their entry included dual trailers. One carried The Grinch on top of his mountain home, and the larger trailer carried the residents of "Whoville," including the mayor, Cindy Lou Who, and dozens of Whoville children (the students). The judges loved their globe covered in artwork from their students - a nod to our theme for the year - but it was all the children of Whoville singing Christmas songs along the route that won them their category.
