April 11, 2013: 25 Soon-to-be-Graduates active with River Watch gathered together with River Watch Staff, Board Members and other supporters to Celebrate their accomplishments as they prepare for Graduation. The evening was complimented by the preparation and service of food by fellow high school students at the Travis High School Culinary Arts Facility, a lovely space for our intimate gathering. The Grads took turns sharing what they have enjoyed and learned in their time in River Watch and also about their plans for the coming Fall semester. At the end of the evening ten students were honored with acknowledgment of their substantial service to the Greater Austin community. The two students with the highest number of service hours both had in excess of 400 hours of service each with River Watch. We are so proud of these fine young people and so happy for them as they prepare for the next phase of their lives out in the world.
