Dear Watertown Faculty and Families, Friday May 7, 2021

 This past week the Watertown Public Schools celebrated Teacher Appreciation Week and Nurse’s Day. And as we move into the weekend, we look forward to Mother’s Day. 

 Whether you already have plans for the day, or will be thinking of/remembering someone special this weekend, I hope that you have many moments of joy.

 Sincerely,

Dr. V
