???? Carnival of Careers at Watertown Middle School! ???? We had a fantastic time at Watertown Middle School’s Carnival of Careers, where students explored career options and learned more about our community! ???? Watertown Area United Way was honored to be invited to share about the programs we support and the impact they have right here in Watertown. Students even got to create their own bookmarks—a fun way to highlight the importance of literacy! ??? One of the best parts? Visiting with students who remembered receiving Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library books, funded by Watertown Area United Way! ???? It’s always inspiring to see how early learning programs make a difference in young lives. Thank you, Watertown Middle School, for hosting this amazing incentive day and encouraging students to explore their future paths while connecting with their community! #LiveUnited #WatertownAreaUnitedWay #CommunityMatters #CarnivalOfCareers
