Kindness Week is coming up quickly and starts next week, 1/27 - 1/31. Take note of the activities planned and the spirit theme days.

As a reminder, regular school is not in session today. However, TK-8th grade students registered for the supplementary program through ELOP may attend program. All school and district offices will be closed in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. #WaterfordCares #WUSD

Let us not forget the lessons that came from Martin Luther King Jr. One of the greatest realities can be reflected in the following quote: "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." Remember to be the LIGHT and LOVE in this world.
