| Spring Forward Happy Spring Forward, everyone! We hope the time change wasn’t too rough this morning. The bright side: the sun is shining, the snow is finally melting, and it feels like spring might actually be on its way. Below are a few fun and exciting things coming up in our Williams community. And as always, if you ever have something you’d like to share in the newsletter—events, updates, celebrations, or helpful resources—please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m always happy to include it! |

Newton Girls Softball — Spring Registration Open! Spring registration for Newton Girls Softball is now open! It’s a wonderful opportunity for girls to get outside, build skills, make new friends, and have fun after a long winter. The program is very beginner-friendly and focuses on creating a positive, supportive, and low-pressure environment for players of all experience levels. For any questions, feel free to reach out to Stella Nguyen (whose daughter is in 3rd grade) at sbella3245@gmail.com—she’s happy to help and share more about the program. |
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

| Something for Tired Parents 😉 Down Under Yoga is opening a studio in Wellesley, featuring fitness classes, wellness programming, and recovery options—an exciting new addition to the local community. See below for more information:
Down Under Yoga Wellesley is designed as a full wellness destination—bringing yoga, Pilates Reformer, and recovery together under one roof. The studio features two spacious yoga rooms (70 + 50 students), a dedicated reformer studio with 9 reformers, and an exclusive recovery suite with a Finnish sauna, red light therapy, and cold showers.
Our Founding Membership is $199/month (valued at $240 once fully launched) and includes unlimited classes at all Down Under locations, 4 reformer classes per month, and full access to the recovery space. Only a limited number of memberships remain at this rate, and we expect them to sell out by the end of the week.

Food Rescue at Williams: Reducing Waste, Helping Neighbors Williams is participating in a districtwide food rescue effort aimed at reducing food waste while getting nutritious food into the hands of those in need in our community. During lunch, students may place any unopened, uneaten, nonperishable items from their school-provided lunch (items from home lunches are not eligible) into a designated collection area in the cafeteria.
Each week, these items are picked up by a student leader at Newton South High School, who packages and distributes them across the district.
The Williams Green Team is currently seeking a parent/caregiver volunteer to help with weekly pickup and delivery. The role involves collecting the donated items from Williams Elementary School—ideally on Wednesdays before 3:00 p.m.—and delivering them to Newton South (approximately a 10-minute drive).
Interested and able to help? Please contact Molly Quinn, Williams Green Team Captain, at quinnmo@newton.k12.ma.us. Thank you for supporting this meaningful effort!
