On Tuesday, March 26th, our 8th grade Civics teachers, Ms. Shock and Ms. Kline, hosted a Civics Learning Panel. Local leaders came to tell our 8th graders about their roles, how they have a positive impact on our community, and responded to students’ questions.

Thank you to all the panelists who were able to join us: Kendry Foley, School Committee Chair; Emily Izzo, City Councilor; Steve Owens, State Representative; John Lawn, State Representative; Officer Margaryan (Princess Anna), WMS School Resource Officer; and Captain Dan Unsworth, Watertown Police Department. We were empowered by your strong message that we don't have to be of voting age to make a difference in our community!

Thanks to everyone who helped support our trip to Westwood last Friday for the middle school IDEAS Conference for student DEIB leadership! The students did an amazing job and participated in some really interesting discussions about identity and privilege. I would love to make this an annual event.

New community service opportunity! We are collecting goods again for Operation American Soldier. Operation American Soldier is a local organization that collects food and other items, and sends them to folks serving in the military overseas. This year, we will be collecting peanut butter, beef jerky, and toothbrushes from now until April 5th. Please drop off items in the box in the main lobby.

WMS Presents the musical Annie Jr.! The show will run Friday, April 5th and Saturday, April 6th at 7pm, and Sunday, April 7th at 2pm. WMS Students get in for free! General admission: $10. Tickets are available at the door only, 1/2 an hour before the performance begins! We hope to see you there!

We are hosting a solar eclipse party on Monday, April 8, from 2:15-3:45 PM. Please have your student sign up to view this rare scientific event on their cluster Google Classroom. Permission slips will be distributed by the end of this week.

Interested in seeing what our students have been working on? Stop by our art show at the Watertown Mall from April 9th to May 1st! The opening reception will be held on April 9th at 5:00 PM, along with a performance from our music students.

Don't forget about our exciting Attendance Incentive Program aimed at encouraging consistent attendance and participation among our students! The program is designed to incentive students who consistently attend school on time and actively engage in their learning journey.

Here's how it works:

Each Monday, we will hold a special raffle drawing, with one winner per grade level with consistent attendance from the week prior. These students will have the chance to win a delightful gift card to Dunkin’ or Starbucks, a perfect treat for a well-deserved break or a delicious snack!

Consistent attendance is crucial for academic success, and we believe that acknowledging and celebrating this commitment is essential. By participating in our Attendance Incentive Program, students not only have the opportunity to win fantastic prizes but also cultivate habits that will serve them well in their academic and personal lives.

Thank you for your continued support in promoting a culture of attendance and engagement at our school. If you have any questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

We are proud to celebrate our diverse community with our second annual Diversity Night on May 16th! This evening will be a showcase of the many different cultures, traditions, identities, and backgrounds that make our school such a unique and wonderful place. We believe that diversity is a strength and that everyone has something valuable to contribute to our shared human experience. Clubs, student groups, families, and individuals are all encouraged to sign up to host a table, an experience, or a learning event. Click here for more information and to sign up.
