| Thank You for a Wonderful Movie Night! A huge thank you to everyone who helped make Williams Movie Night such a success! From the families who pitched in to set up and clean up, to those who helped with treats and lent a hand behind the scenes—your efforts made the night possible. It was so special to see our Williams community gathered together, sharing candy, laughter, and a fun evening under the stars. Nights like this remind us how lucky we are to be part of such a supportive, connected school family. We’re grateful for all the energy and enthusiasm that brought this event to life. Here’s to many more opportunities to come together as Wildcats! 🐾 |

| 🎨 Calling All Creativity Lovers! Ever wonder if the next Monet or Matisse is sitting right here at Williams? Come be part of the magic in the Art Room! Volunteering is a fun and rewarding way to support our amazing staff and cheer on students as they bring their ideas to life. You can sign up for any art class—including your child’s—or join the Reflections program on Wednesday mornings. Last year, volunteers made such a difference in the Adapted Art class, and the students absolutely lit up with excitement having extra hands and encouragement! 👉 Interested? Email Jim Strickland james.strickland9@gmail.com to explore all art and library volunteer opportunities.
📚 Library volunteering will resume in January—mark your calendar!

Annual Dues Every year the Williams PTO spends approximately $250 per student on the various programs the PTO sponsors in and out of school. In order to achieve all our goals for our school and our children we must raise upwards of $40,000 each year. While every Williams parent/guardian is automatically a member of the Williams PTO, we ask that each Williams family pay annual dues in order to keep these programs alive and raise the bar in our community and social gatherings. Our goal this year is 100% family participation. While our suggested payment is $250 per child, please contribute what you can. The PTO will use dues to fund many of our core activities throughout the year! For example: Classroom Supplies Field Trips Creative Arts & Sciences Educational Enrichment Program Staff Instructional Mini-Grants Technology & Equipment Multicultural Night Staff Appreciation Week School Grounds Beautification Community Outreach Back to School & Ice Cream Social
You can make your donation HERE and please check to see if your company will match your contribution! |
