Students and staff at WMS will try once again to be one of the top fund raisers for Pennies for Patients - an effort to stop leukemia and lymphoma.
Over the past several years, Watertown Middle School raised close to $200,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Pennies for Patients, and this week the school kicked off this year's fund-raising effort. The drive runs for three weeks, through March 18, said Sajda Abbas, the eighth-grade class president. "Last year we raised $29,000," Abbas said.

The effort earned the school special recognition from the New England Revolution soccer team, and a chance to go on the field at Gillette Stadium. The school has plenty of inspiration to raise money.

The team took the title after it missed out on a shot at the title last year after an error in calculating the score last year.
Victory tasted extra sweet for Watertown Middle School's Quiz Bowl team after it missed out on a shot at the title last year due to a scoring glitch. On Jan. 26, the team of 10 middle schoolers headed to Malden Catholic for the competition and came home with the grand prize. The students answered questions about presidents, impressionists, environmental science, American playwrights, pop culture and mental math, according to Watertown Middle School social studies teacher and team leader Kara Conceison. Then they moved on to the wild card round, after which they qualified for the championship round, as one of the top three teams. That proved to the sticking point last year, but the students did not let it stop them this year. "Last year …
