Webster Elementary Newsletter
Watertown Unified School District |
We are very excited to be wrapping up another great school year at Webster. My final year as principal. It has been my privilege and honor to serve as the Principal of Webster School for the past 21 years. Webster will always hold a special place in my heart. The students and staff held a WONDERFUL and emotional assembly for me on Friday. A special thank you to Ms. Ganser and Ms. Gifford! I appreciate all of the kind words very much. While I am looking forward to spending more time with Mrs. Clark and our children I will miss all of the students, families and terrific staff at Webster very much. They are currently interviewing candidates for the next principal. There are some other changes for next year. Mrs. Clark, Mrs. Pochop and Mr. Bollinger will also be retiring. Mrs. Wolf(second grade) and Miss Teuteberg(4K) will not be returning to Webster next year. Mrs. Morstad will be coming from Lincoln to teach first grade, Mrs. Retzlaff will be coming from eCampus to teach second grade and Mrs. Pirkel will be moving in from Lebanon to teach 4K. They are all veteran staff who have many years of teaching experience. Please remember to have your Wildcats pick up and read some good books over the summer!!! They have worked hard all year and we do not want their reading levels to drop. Have a FUN and SAFE summer!!
We collected a record breaking 214,951 aluminum cans this year!! That amounts to 6,140 POUNDS of aluminum recycled! WOW! We had 132 Wildcats donate cans this year! Every student who donated 1 pound (35 cans) or more will receive an Earth Day cookie on Award’s Day.
Congratulations to our top 10 collectors!
