From the PTA:
WOW! WOW! WOW! What a week!
🍭 A Golden Ticket to Success!
Last week's production of Wonka Jr. was pure magic! From the incredible performances on stage to the countless hours of preparation behind the scenes, our students, faculty, and parent volunteers came together to create something truly special. Thank you to everyone who helped bring this sweet adventure to life—we are so proud of our talented performers and grateful to our amazing community for making the show such a memorable success! Special thank you to Jonathan and Kira Haagan for another spectacular performance!
🏅 Field Day = EPIC!
What a day! From relay races and water games to the always-legendary tug-of-war, Field Day was packed with excitement, smiles, and school spirit. A huge THANK YOU to the many parent volunteers who showed up ready to help, cheer, and keep the fun going at every station. Your support is what makes events like this possible. And a very special shout-out to Coach for his incredible planning, leadership, and energy in creating a day our students will be talking about all summer long. We are so lucky to have you leading the charge!
End of Year Collection for our AMAZING Teachers and Staff!
We cannot believe it is already June and the end of the year is upon us!
We've got 71 different staff members that help make Watchung School run smoothly. If you're able, don't forget to thank them with a contribution to this general collection now through Thursday, June 18th. Students and parents are free to give a personal gift to their favorite teachers or staff, but we encourage families to make the general fund a priority.
If you are able, we are asking families to contribute to a shared pool of funds that will be distributed among all of the staff as a thank you for their hard work throughout the school year. These funds will be distributed to all Faculty including Certified teachers, Related Arts teachers and non-homeroom support staff.
Any amount is welcomed and deeply appreciated!

Have a great week!
