We had several Waterman families attend the informational meeting about DI last night.  I am excited to share that we have a parent, Trey Loker, who is has expressed interest in managing a team for us.  That means we need to round up some students who want to participate.   Please let me know if you would like more information, have an interested child, and/or are interested in volunteering some time.
