LETTER: Why I Think You Should Vote for My MOM!   

Dear Watertown!  

As the youngest of four kids , I’ve spent my whole life watching my mom, Amy Donohue, give her time and energy to the Watertown Public Schools. Education has always been number one in our house, whether it was volunteering on the PTO, helping with the Watertown Education Foundation events, or donating to every youth group and sports team you can think of.

When I was younger, I used to roll my eyes because she seemed to know everyone. Every teacher, every coach, every parent. It was honestly kind of annoying. But now that I’m older, I really appreciate how much she’s done and how many people she’s helped. I’ve seen former students stop her in the grocery store just to say how much she meant to them when she worked in the schools. That’s when I realized how much of a difference she’s made.

My mom truly cares about Watertown students, teachers, and families. She works hard, she listens, and she always puts kids first. I hope you’ll join me in voting for my mom, Amy Donohue, for a third term on the Watertown School Committee.

Clare Donohue, 
Watertown High School class of 2028
