| Author Visit: Scott Magoon (CAS Program) On December 12, author and illustrator Scott Magoon visited Williams as part of our Cultural Arts Series (CAS) program for a special presentation with K–2 students. Through an engaging slideshow, Scott shared original childhood drawings and spoke about the early inspirations that sparked his lifelong love of art and storytelling. Students enjoyed a read-aloud of his newest book, There’s No Place Like Gnome’s, and learned about the full book-making process — from developing ideas and writing the story to illustrating characters and collaborating with editors. Scott also offered a behind-the-scenes look at his creative process, sharing early sketches and demonstrating live digital drawing on his iPad. This inspiring visit, funded by the PTO through the CAS program, gave students a meaningful glimpse into the creative process and encouraged them to explore their own ideas through art and storytelling. |

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
