Don’t forget tomorrow is the last day of the toy drive!

What a Night! Gala & Auction Success 🎉

A huge thank you to everyone who donated, bid, attended, and helped make the Gala and Online Auction this past Saturday such a memorable evening. Your generosity, energy, and support for our school community were felt in every moment.

And to our Gala Committee — we are so grateful for the countless hours, planning, creativity, and heart you put into bringing this event to life.

She’ll hate the spotlight (sorry, Abby!) but it must be said — none of this would have been possible without Abby Glovsky. Abby is the powerhouse behind so many incredible events at Williams, and we are endlessly thankful for all she does to make our community shine. 💙

Now… drumroll please 🥁
We raised an incredible $19,900 — our highest total to date!

Thank you again, Williams families, for showing up, giving generously, and helping us reach new heights this year. What a community!

Williams Holiday Support & Gift Card Collection

It’s the season of giving, and our Williams community is once again coming together to support one another. We are collecting gift cards to assist Williams families who may benefit from a little extra support this time of year. Any contribution — big or small — can make a meaningful difference.

Most helpful gift cards include:
• Market Basket
• Shaws / Star Market
• CVS / Walgreens
• Target
• TJ Maxx / Marshalls
• Amazon

Beginning Tuesday, December 9, a gift card collection box will be located in the main office.
We are accepting physical gift cards only, though printed e-gift cards are welcome.

Please send donations by Tuesday, December 16 to ensure distribution in time for the holiday season. All gift card distribution will remain confidential to protect the privacy of families receiving support.

Thank you for helping brighten the season for our community.


Wishing every Williams family a warm, joyful, and peaceful holiday season. ❄️💙

🎁 Toy Drive Ends Tomorrow – Last Chance to Donate!
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!

Holiday Toy Drive - November 17th - December 9th

The Williams School, in partnership with The Village Bank, is running a holiday gift drive for families in our community. 

There will be a large gift box sitting in front of the main office where you can donate NEW and UNWRAPPED Toys for children ages 0-10. 

Your gifts will benefit many Newton families this holiday season. We need to collect all toys/gifts by Wednesday, December 9th so we can deliver gifts in time for the holidays.
