The Festival of Compassion: An annual event at Watershed that celebrates compassion-- What it is; why it’s necessary in today’s society; why it’s especially important at a place like Watershed.
Stone Soup: As a school, we make “Stone Soup” to show that alone, we don’t have much, but when we help each other, we have a lot. Each student brings one vegetarian item for the soup. Students can bring vegetable bouillon, a carrot, dried rice, pasta, a can of peas, a clove of garlic, a potato, etc. whatever you have handy in your pantry! Any leftover ingredients will be donated to families in need.
Bowl Exchange: Everyone goes to the thrift store, Grandma’s closet or a local pottery shop and chooses a fun bowl to bring to school. The bowls can be vintage, goofy, ugly or fun! Choose one that is interesting to you. (Staff members wash/sterilize all the bowls once they get to school.) The kids set the bowls out and as they come through the soup line later, each student gets to choose a bowl and keep it as a souvenir of the day.
Clothing Exchange/Donation: Save a trip to your local donation center! Bring clean items from your closets that you no longer want, need or fit into! Clothes, shoes in good shape, coats, hats, and mittens are all needed. We have a clothing exchange where kids get to choose items to take home, then we donate the rest to local charities like the Epilepsy Foundation, DAV or ARC.
