We are so proud of our Water Tower Camp Fire Prevention Play performers! They got 2nd place in the whole city, won the best script award, and Ethan, our very own Michael Jackson, was chosen as the best actor! The only site to walk out of there with 3 awards! Way to go Water Tower campers!!!

A special thank you to Ms. Kara for writing our fire prevention play, figuring out costumes and props, and practicing with the kids every step of the way. Your awesome Michael Jackson idea, hard work, and encouragement brought everything together. More importantly, you helped the kids build confidence, learn important fire safety lessons, and grow through these past few weeks. We are so grateful for everything you did to make this production a success. Thank you for inspiring our campers and giving them an experience they will always remember! ❤️

Our Water Tower after school program wanted to go ALL OUT with our last art competition of the year so instead of just making a spring bulletin board, we decided to transform our room into the Water Tower Flower Show! My staff and our kids understood the assignment and worked SOOOO hard to pull this off! I’m extremely thankful for and proud of each and every one of them and very excited about how it turned out! Please scroll through all the pictures, there is so much to see around the room and the photos don’t even do it justice! 🌼🌺🌻🌷
