Heidi Smith, Learning Strategist, Watertown High School

Thank you so much for rewarding my class/program with this grant! This is such a blessing to our program!

Your generosity and support make it possible for our students to participate in real life, functional experiences such as taking a taxi, grocery shopping, planning and cooking simple meals and snacks as well as have the tools and equipment we need for students to learn basic life skills such as sweeping, vacuuming a rug, cleaning non disposable dishes and the like.

We will now also be able to plan to take field trips to visit area businesses and learn about vocational possibilities!

We will send photos of the students and our new supplies as soon as possible.

Judy Jones, 4K Teacher, Douglas Elementary School

Thank you to the Educational Foundation of Watertown for the generous grant!

It allowed me to buy math, science, sensory, and fine motor toys to enrich the 4K classroom at Douglas.

My students are already enjoying the new materials. Thank you so much!

Kathy Fortlage, Teacher Grades 1 & 2, Lebanon Lutheran School

Thank you for filling my grant of Decodable Readers for 2nd Grade.

My second graders are enjoying these stories – they have more “meat” to them than traditional easy decodables.

Thank you for all you do for education in Watertown!​​

Stephanie Gilbert-Crane, 9th Grade Teacher, Watertown High School

Thank you so much for the grant of $500 towards the purchase of our literature circle books.

My ninth grade students love this portion of our class as it gives them more choice in what they want to read.

The educators of Watertown High School love that you value our ideas and operate so that we can become better teachers and offer a voice to our students.

Jody Faithfull, 4th Grade Teacher, Calvary Baptist Christian School

Thank you. This is so exciting. I am so thrilled to be able to purchase the flexible seating for my class.

I am going to ask a few teachers about their favorite flexible seating options and place my order soon.  I'll be sure to send you pictures once the items are in the classroom.

Thank you again for all you do to make our classrooms functional, comfortable, and inclusive. ​​
