JRW - Weekly Update

Posted Date: 9/07/25 (5:00 PM)

Eagle Families,

It was wonderful to see so many JRW families at the Color Me Watson Run today! Once the total amount raised is confirmed, I’ll be sure to share that exciting news with everyone.

Here are a few important updates for the week ahead:


👋  Mr. Ed Williams
Mr. Ed Williams — known as "Mr. Ed" — has been a beloved custodian at JRW for an incredible 36 years! Many of our parents may remember him from their own time at JRW or East Auburn. His last day will be Wednesday, September 24th, as he is retiring. Teachers will begin letting students know next week, so we wanted our families to be aware in case your child comes home with questions.

📅 PTO Meeting – Monday, September 15 at 6:30 PM
Join us for our next PTO meeting, where I’ll be presenting on JRW’s Schoolwide Title I Program. We’d love to see you there!

🎓 College Go Week – September 22–24
We’re celebrating College Go Week at JRW!  Please check the attached document for fun ways we’ll be encouraging college and career readiness with our students.

📌 Be sure to review the attached Watson Weekly to see the events happening next week.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday evening!


Respectfully,

Austin J. Harrison
JRW, Principal
