Waterloo East High students publish Amazing Waterloo Women
Waterloo East High School students led by Lizzie Zondo wrote and published Amazing Waterloo Women, a grant funded project naming a person or group for every alphabet letter. The book features local figures such as Anna Mae Weems and Belinda Creighton-Smith, with art by Dona van Oberlieu’s club. It sold out quickly and will be reprinted, with Raygun carrying copies.
