The National Honor Society is holding both a clothing and food drive from March 25th to April 5th! Drop-off bins can be found in the main office and on the second floor of the building before the stairwells by Doors 3 and 4.

All clothes will be donated to More Than Words, a local nonprofit that aims to provide system-involved youth who are out of school or in the court system with job and business experience. They accept clothes donations of all sizes as long as they are lightly worn and in good condition.

Food donations will be brought to the Watertown Food Pantry, which provides food assistance to Watertown residents in need. We’re looking for any non-perishable food items like canned soup, cereal, pasta, rice, and coffee. Here is the link to a more detailed list of items that can be donated.

Please contact Ms. Lee (sharon.lee@watertown.k12.ma.us) Nina Paquette (nipaqu257@watertown.k12.ma.us), or Celia Gilbert-Sartori (cegilb676@watertown.k12.ma.us) with any questions.

We are also collecting goods for Operation American Soldier from today until April 5th! 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. Please drop off items in the box in the main lobby of the high school.

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.

Over the next several weeks, teachers and guidance counselors will be working with 9th, 10th, and 11th grade students to discuss course recommendations for next year. Students and families will be able to see and review all course requests in PowerSchool at the end of March. Until then, please look for future communications from the Guidance team regarding the course selection process and course offerings.
