Lowell School Newsletter
You've probably heard of the "getting" days known as Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but have you heard of the global giving day known as #GivingTuesday? That is the day that nonprofit causes around the world seek to raise funds for their critical work. I am writing to let you know that our project will be participating in #GivingTuesday as part of our fundraising campaign for Watertown's School Gardens. SeedMoney still has grants that it will be awarded and your donation helps position us to receive one. You can donate to our campaign by going here:
Thanks for helping us to get this holiday season off to a good, giving start!

The holidays are a great time to donate a book in someone's honor.
Donate a book in honor of a grandparent or a child.
We will announce the title of the book and the name of the honored person during morning announcements.

All students in grades PreK through fifth grade will be taking time to code during library and technology classes sometime during the month of December. Several classroom teachers in different grades will also be coding in their classroom
All students in grades 6-8 will be coding for one hour December 15th!
Students in grades 9-12 will be coding in their math classrooms.
For the second year, both WPS and Watertown Free Public Library will be working together to promote coding and will be offering coding opportunities for students and adults all of next week.
