As the temperatures rose to dangerous levels in the first week of July, a group in Watertown leapt into action delivering air conditioners to those who need them, and which had been donated by other residents.

In the days after the former 13 colonies declared their independence from Britain 250 years ago, Watertown had a moment. The town outside Boston became the center of government in Massachusetts, and two historic firsts took place right near Watertown Square. However, these occasions got lost in the ether somewhere between George Washington and George H.W. Bush. It took some people with long memories to rekindle the connection between Watertown and the indigenous tribes on both sides of the Canadian border. This July 18th, Watertown will celebrate the 250th anniversary of these historic moments with the descendants of those present in 1776.
The Watertown Arts Market is still about a month away, but on two weekends in July there will be pop-up arts markets in Watertown Square featuring local artists and musicians.
Dear Neighbors,
I’m writing as a lifelong resident of Watertown. After attending St. Patrick’s and WHS, I graduated from Babson College with a B.S. in Business Administration and major in Economics, then earned a Master’s in Teaching from Brandeis University, where I concentrated in Secondary History Education. I currently work as a Project Manager for a FinTech.
I am a parent and committed progressive in the East End of Watertown. Here’s what I’m supporting this year, and why:
School Committee candidate Jessica Middlebrook and State Rep. Steve Owens.
Dear Watertown Community,
I write this letter to enthusiastically endorse Jessica Middlebrook for the Watertown School Committee.
Dear Neighbors,
We are a group of East End residents writing to endorse Nicole Gardner for District A Town Councilor and to encourage our neighbors to cast their ballots for Nicole on November 2nd! Nicole has the experience, values, energy, and expertise the East End needs today.
Greetings friends and fellow Watertownites,
I am writing this letter to enthusiastically endorse Jen Nicholson in her campaign for School Committee. I actually could not fathom a more perfect candidate for the job. Jen’s background leaves her uniquely qualified for a seat on our School Committee. She has had roles in all sides of the school system which will inform how she makes decisions for our school as a whole.
