Students in Mrs. Kannas' room were thrilled to welcome Mayor Ried Holien to their classroom. All second-grade students had the chance to learn about his job as the Mayor of Watertown. His visit put the sprinkles on our cupcake about what it means to be a responsible citizen of our community, and how our local leaders work together to make our city a fun and safe place to live.

Dear Parents,
Colder weather has arrived! Please make sure your student is coming to school with the proper gear (coat, hats, gloves) and have items labeled with their name. When snow arrives (hopefully not anytime soon), students will need boots and snow pants. We go outside as often as possible and want your child to be comfortable and warm. If you need assistance in acquiring winter gear, please reach out to your child's teacher or the front office.
Thank you,
Mrs. Ward
