Over the course of the next month and a half, NHS will be running a community book drive. We are asking all to donate any old or unused children's books! We have drop off boxes at the YMCA, Watertown Senior Center, Watertown Family Practice, St. Bernard's, and the media center at WHS. We will then be handing out the books to kids at the Watertown High School Children's Fair and any extras will be donated to charity! Thank you for your donations!
