Today marks National Fentanyl Awareness Day, and we want to ensure everyone in our school community is informed and empowered to make safe choices. Fentanyl is a potent synthetic opioid that poses a serious risk, especially when mixed with other substances. Here are a few key points to remember: 1️⃣ Fentanyl is incredibly strong – even a small amount can be fatal. 2️⃣ It's often mixed with other drugs like heroin, cocaine, marijuana, or counterfeit pills without notice, increasing the danger. 3️⃣ Education and open communication are crucial. Talk to your kids about the risks, and don't hesitate to ask questions or seek help if needed. Let's work together to raise awareness and keep our community safe. Knowledge is power! #OnePillCanKill #WaterfordCares #WUSD

THANK YOU to all who have served! Veterans Day, or Armistice Day, was founded in honor of the cessation of hostilities between the Allied forces and Germany in World War I. The fighting ended on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, we honor our veterans on November 11th. #WaterfordCares #WUSD
