2012 Charlie's Visit (ESRI Education)


Charlie Fitzpatrick took these pictures on an April 2012 visit to Waterville.  Charlie is one of the Education "people" for ESRI, makers of the ArcView mapping software that we use.  First, Charlie's impressions as he came up on the Waterville Plateau and to the school.










Waterville student greeters meet Charlie, Karen Dvornich and Michelle LeLanne and give them a quick tour of the school.  They are then invited to visit classrooms.

Wanted Posters 2009
