Before Christmas break officially kicked off, Watertown Middle School celebrated student achievements with a fun-filled Incentive Day! Middle schoolers earned the chance to choose their own adventure—whether it was bowling strikes, ice fishing, ice skating, enjoying a movie, or exploring the Zoo.

📸 These photos capture a few of the moments students snapped during their morning stroll, highlighting a well-earned celebration of hard work and success.

Wishing continued success to the students in the New Year too!

Girls Rule had a great time at their first meeting and Christmas party tonight!

We got to get to know each other, make bird feeders for wild birds, create ornaments for gifts, make personal pizzas and hot chocolate, and end with presents!

Through the generous support of the Watertown Area Community Foundation's Women & Giving program the girls left excited and full with new friendships.

Each girl got to pick their own plush from the gift shop and they received gift cards for Odyssey Grand 8 to use with family or friends.

It’s cold outside, so what better way to enjoy a chilly day than staying cozy indoors and admiring all the amazing new enrichment items our animals have received thanks to you!

Because of the incredible support from our community, our Amazon Wishlist has turned into a treasure trove of fun, stimulating, and engaging enrichment for the animals in our care. From puzzle feeders to toys and sensory items, these gifts help keep our animals active, curious, and thriving, and they’re already being put to great use!

We cannot thank you enough for your generosity and for choosing to support our animals in such a meaningful way. Every item purchased makes a real difference in their daily lives.

There are still items available on our wishlist (link in comments) if you’d like to join in the fun and help provide enrichment for our animals. Your support, big or small, goes a long way, and our animals truly appreciate it!

Thank you for being such an important part of our zoo family!

Photo tax! Please enjoy these photos of Stede, our African pygmy hedgehog, staying warm and comfy in his luxurious new hide spot; D***y, our yellow-naped Amazon parrot, enjoying her new shreddable ledge; and Oliver, our chinchilla boy, enjoying his new hammock.

Don't forget Santa will be at the Zoo this Saturday morning for Breakfast with Santa!!

We still have tickets available if you haven't purchased yours yet. And remember Santa is very busy this time of year, so it is best to come to the Zoo early for hot wraps, cold smoothies, and to visit with Santa before he hops on his sleigh!
