Mrs. Kazarosian's Cup Baby Project
The students decorate the cup with craft items, decide on a name, personality characteristics and details of the ways they will provide stimulation and positive learning experiences. Students introduce their cup to the class and must carry the cup baby with them throughout the day , in school and after school. It is unacceptable to decide that the cup baby cannot attend school because of a cold, school phobia, or a preschool activity. Each day of the assignment, students present an update of what has happened to their cup baby.
At the end of the assignment, some of the cup babies are placed with the permanent collection in the psychology classroom, with other students unable to part with their project. |

Travis Roy spoke to students at Watertown High School yesterday......
Tuesday May 20th was a special day at Watertown High School. Former Boston University hockey player, Travis Roy, now a motivational speaker and author of Eleven Seconds, spoke to the students about the importance of following one’s dreams and how his life changed in a matter of seconds.
Roy spoke to a mesmerized audience of students in 2 separate assemblies. The former hockey player suffered a severe spinal cord injury in 1995, which paralyzed him from the neck down after just eleven seconds on the ice. Although wheelchair bound, Travis talked to his young audience about setting goals, and the importance of a positive attitude.
He was met with standing ovations at the end of each of his assemblies and those in attendance were all taken with his ability to connect to students and adults alike.
Travis was presented with a Watertown jacket and cap as a thank-you. This program was sponsored by the Watertown High School PTSO and was made possible by grant funding through the Watertown/ Harvard and Watertown/O’Neill Properties Charitable Trust.

Another huge success for the students of Ms. Johnson's Food Service/Hospitality classes as they planned, prepared, presented and served their third Raider Cafe Luncheon of this school year. On the menu were sensational chicken noodle soup with grandma's refrigerator wheat rolls followed by two desserts-yummy chocolate cake and delectable heart-shaped "cream" puffs. The last luncheon is planned for May!
