LETTER: Outgoing School Committee Member Endorses Candidates in November’s Election

By |

To the Watertown Community, 

For the past almost 8 years now, I have had the privilege of serving as a School Committee member here in Watertown, most recently as the vice chair. Those past years have seen the start of perhaps the best superintendent in the state, Dr. Deanne Galdston, the turnover of all 5 principalships with amazing new leaders, and the rebuilding/full renovation of 4 out of 5 of Watertown’s school buildings. To put it lightly — we got a lot done. To this day, I remain incredibly proud of how hard the Watertown community pulled together during the pandemic, making our schools and our city a leader in safe, effective education through a perilous time. We leaned on and learned from each other, and so many people across the entire community pitched in their expertise and time to help guide us.

Weather Forecast: Fall-Like Days with Bright Skies & Temps in the 70s

By |

A coastal low exits midweek, leaving behind a stretch of dry, comfortable weather. Cooler air filters in on Friday. High pressure dominates through Saturday with sunshine and seasonable temperatures. By Sunday, a weak disturbance may bring some clouds and a stray shower, but most of the period remains dry. Highs stay in the low to mid-70s with crisp nights in the 50s, and another bright stretch continues into the middle and latter part of next week.

LETTER: Meet Council-At-Large Candidate Theo Offei

Theo Offei

I feel lucky to live in Watertown. Five years ago, my wife and I moved our family here, to her childhood home, looking for connection, community, and a place to put down roots. We found all of that in abundance. From the start, I felt welcomed into this diverse, close-knit, and deeply engaged city.
