Mrs. Waters has waited for an opportunity to serve and looks forward to representing CSP on all levels.  As the former PTSO President for CSP, her ability to collaborate with parents and staff effectively created many unique programs and events that  have helped support CSP over the years. Her tenure was the first to provide parent support for homecoming, middle school dances, 100 reading tablets, 2 Winter Vendor and Craft Fairs and the 1st ever CSP cookbook. Her current role as both a long term parent and substitute teacher at CSP allows for unique opportunities to discuss with students and staff their own going needs. As a mother of 3 children, one a recent 2018 graduate of CSP and another presently in 7th grade, she is uniquely qualified in understanding the culture and beauty of our school.
