Join us!
Sept 1, 2023 | 10am – 12pm
First up: let’s talk about our WEED PROBLEM! The front walk of Watchung is currently an overgrown mess of weeds. Let’s spiff it up a little for the first day of school. We’ll be there this Friday to pull weeds, lay down fresh mulch and replace the flowers in our planters– think of it as a mini Fall cleanup. Looking for volunteers to help! Bring the kids, they can run around the front lawn. Even just half an hour of your time would go a long way!

End of Year Staff Gifts
With the school year coming to a close, we are asking those who are able to contribute to a shared pool of funds for our wonderful Watchung staff. Mr. Krenn will distribute the money equally according to an individual’s role at the school (i.e., certified teacher role, non-certified teacher role, support staff, etc.). Contribute via MemberHub HERE
Class Parents will take a small collection for an individual class for more personalized gifts (for teachers in the room – homeroom teacher, assistant, paras), but we do encourage families to make the general fund their first priority. Thank you!
