Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week continues across the Watertown Unified School District. Yesterday, our district Leadership Team delivered variety boxes of Chandler House Bakery cookies to all our staff members. In addition, our district parent organizations, local business, students, and families have been wonderful in providing special treats for our staff this week. 🍪
Pictured with the boxes of cookies just prior to delivery are (from left) Jenny Borst, director of Curriculum & Instruction; Sarah Oudenhoven, interim co-superintendent; Jason Bull, interim co-superintendent; Margaret Brady, director of Human Resources; and Beth Munson, director of Business Services.
Tradition. Innovation. Transformation.
