Christmas Celebration

Thanks for much to all parents who helped to make our classroom Christmas party enjoyable! We had so many great snacks and some excellent games that got us all in the Christmas spirit!
Stockings for Seniors
​
The fourth graders recently completed a community service project where they created about 200 Christmas cards that will be included in the "Stockings for Seniors" program sponsored by the Watertown Downtown Business Association. The beautiful cards will be included in stockings along with other donated items and will most certainly help to spread the joy of the Christmas season and bring smiles to the faces of many of our area's senior citizens
