Monday evening was a special one for the Watershed community! More than 80 people gathered on campus to celebrate the culmination of months of creativity, commitment, and care from students in the upper school Mosaics and Garden Sculptures classes. What filled the space wasn’t just artwork - it was a shared sense of purpose, partnership, and pride.

Our 3rd Annual Empty Bowls: A Night of Community (and a Lot of Soup!)
On February 19th, Watershed School hosted our third annual Boulder Empty Bowls Fundraiser, and once again, our community showed up in the most heartwarming way. For our sold-out event, nearly 150 guests filled our space for an evening dedicated to one shared purpose: supporting our neighbors facing food insecurity.
What I Get From Watershed
When students talk about what they get from Watershed, they talk about real-world experiences that matter — and a supportive culture that helps them grow into who they are. Yes, our students are challenged academically, but what they truly walk away with is something deeper: a sense of identity, independence, purpose, and belonging. And it’s within that sense of belonging that the power of community comes to life.

Filling Bowls, Feeding Hope: Watershed’s Second Annual Empty Bowls Fundraiser
The success of this year’s event was truly inspiring, with a total of $7,093 raised! Of this amount, $3,750 came from ticket sales, and the remaining $3,343 was from donations (including a last-minute gift of $1,000!) and the sale of the handcrafted bowls. Thanks to the generosity of attendees and local businesses, the funds raised will provide over 7,500 meals for those in need.
