NHS SUPERSTARS
National Honor Society (NHS) students had a successful spring semester! Students created over 500 goodie bags to support Grade 9 and 10 students taking the MCAS tests, offered peer tutoring to students across all subject areas, led a food and clothing drive to benefit the Watertown Food Pantry and More Than Words, and are working on a special surprise for Staff & Teacher Appreciation Week. Thank you for all of your support in their efforts this year!
