5. Where's Waldo? Brewster School staff surprised students on Friday, April 5 by dressing up as "Waldo" (see photo). Staff members were dressed in red and white stripes and each wore a name tag with a W name of their choosing. All the students were given detective badges and were asked to see if they could find Waldo among the staff. When a student found Waldo, they received a special sticker for their badge. The children were very excited to see that Bonnie Racine, Brewster School's cook, was Waldo. It was a fun and exciting day for the students and the staff.
