Schurz Elementary School 3rd graders in Yesmi Dresser’s class were recently treated to a movie and popcorn for raising the most money for the Schurz Tiger Run. The students also had the unique opportunity to meet Ms. Dresser’s pet gecko, Ginger. In addition, local Watertown Police Department officers recently visited their classroom to talk about bicycle safety.
We wish our WUSD staff, students and families a happy, fun, and enjoyable summer. ☀
