The fun and learning continues during Week 3 of the Watertown Unified School District Summer School program. Riverside Middle School was buzzing with activity this week as 5th-8th graders honed their baking skills, worked in teams playing board and card games, crafted beaded jewelry and decorations, and learned more about small animals and agriculture. Students also enjoyed plenty of gymnasium and outside time playing basketball, flag football, walking and talking, and biking around town.

🚴🚴‍♀️ RMS would like to thank Watertown drivers for being patient with the students who are biking around town with their instructors. Drivers have been very courteous about giving the bicyclists space and waiting for them to cross streets together as a group. This is sincerely appreciated!

Just a reminder there is no WUSD Summer School on Thursday, July 3, Friday, July 4 or on Monday, July 7. Happy 4th of July! 🎆

Week 2 of the Watertown Unified School District's Summer School program is moving right along with lots of fun and learning. Our camera caught up with students in grades 1-4 on Tuesday morning at Watertown High School. The WUSD's Summer School program offers a wide variety of courses for students entering kindergarten all the way through high school, with some classes geared toward academics and others toward strategy, art, sports, and team building. ☀️🏫

The Watertown Area Chamber of Commerce recently wrapped up it's 2024-25 Leadership Watertown class and we are very proud to share that three Watertown Unified School District staff members are graduates - Kris Meloy, Ashley Peirick and Rebekah Faas. Congratulations! In addition to learning all about Watertown during this 8-month course, the Leadership Watertown students must also develop and complete a group civic or business-type improvement project. This year's class designed beautification plans and fundraised for the enhancement of First Street alleyway in downtown Watertown. Construction work on this project is currently underway. Pictured at the June 11 Leadership Watertown graduation ceremony are WUSD representatives and the graduates (from left) Margaret Brady, Peirick, Jason Bull, Faas, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Jarred Burke, Meloy, and Sarah Oudenhoven.
