Watertown School District & The Watertown
Community Foundation
The Watertown Community
Foundation’s (WCF) mission is to promote philanthropy, receive and
administer charitable gifts and invest in programs that improve the quality
of life in
Watertown
by promoting charity, education, and culture in the community.
In the past, The WCF funded a field trip for all 7-12 graders to
attend the Bodies Human exhibit and
Watertown
’s first Native American Pow Wow. They
also provided volunteers for both events to ensure all the students had a
safe and productive experience. The
WCF has helped young mothers complete their education by providing day care
and helped young students by providing scholarships for the preschool
program. To date, WCF has contributed $55,000 as well as their time and
support for several programs to help the
Watertown
School District
reach its mission that all students will succeed.
