A Fond Farewell ANGEL ANN WATERS
A
ngel Ann Waters has worked with nonprofit businesses for over 20 years. Since 2014, Ms. Waters has brought her passion and love of event planning to Harbor Day School. A remarkably skilled planner and organizer, Ms. Waters planned countless events, including the Ladies’ Event, Men’s Event, and the annual Fall Benefit. Her calm demeanor lent itself to working with parent volunteers. Ms. Waters built such a good rapport with volunteers that many parent volunteers continued to help on other committees to continue their involvement with the school. Sadly, Ms. Waters moved to Austin, Texas, to be closer to family. We wish her all the best and hope she comes back to visit! From the moment Angel joined Harbor Day, she warmed the hearts of “ the parents and colleagues she worked with. As a parent volunteer for Grandparents' Day during Angel’s first year, I was fortunate to work closely with her, and in recent years, we became teammates. Angel made her work look effortless, yet so much time and care went into the work that she did. She made sure every event she worked on for The School was fun, unique, and as special as it could be. I was probably never more impressed than last fall when Angel produced the virtual Fall Benefit—in a matter of weeks! A live band, trivia contest, and teams that enabled families to socialize in small groups throughout the evening brought a much-welcome night of entertainment. We will truly miss Angel’s creativity, patience, sense of humor, work ethic, and complete dedication to our school. I, personally, will miss my friend.

eather Victorson came to Harbor Day in 2018 after having worked for a youth-based nonprofit in Uganda. Since then, Ms.Victorson led the annual fund efforts for Harbor Day School. We will miss Heather’s cheerful demeanor and willingness to help whenever a colleague needed assistance. We wish Ms. Victorson all the best as she has moved to Northern California to work at Stanford. Heather and I worked closely on many annual fund related projects. “ Heather’s strong work ethic and helpfulness will be missed. She did everything from coordinating annual fund-related events to analyzing an endless amount of data. I wish her the greatest success in her new role at Stanford. Please keep in touch. — ROSA CRICHTON | Database Manager
