WUSD 2023 retirees were honored during the May 22nd Board meeting. This group of retirees were committed to the WUSD any where from 11 years to 38 years. This gave a total of an amazing 645 years of service. That's incredible! Let's give all of our retirees a #WatertownWay Shout Out for all they have done for our students, staff and families over the years. They will all be missed and we wish them well.
