Don't worry - the standard water coolers and cups will still be available to ensure hydration of everyone. (Teachers, please ask students to bring their water bottles to the WAT and place them in the proper station.)
Compost Bins: Please put food scraps and paper materials into the compost bins at WAT.

COMFORT! We recommend bringing some comfort items. Picnic blankets, chairs, sunscreen, water bottles, sunglasses, hats and shade if you can! It can get hot on the field.
Bathroom Reminders! Adults: a reminder that for safety reasons adults should not ever be using or entering the children's restroom. If you are unsure, please ask. You are welcome to use the bathrooms on the field over by the basketball courts or the staff bathrooms by the garden.
