SUBJECT: Williams Weekly #37 | June 25th

As we send out our final Williams Weekly of the school year, it feels only right to pause and recognize someone who has helped shape so much of what makes our school community so special.

After three incredible years as PTO President, Abby is passing the torch. While many families know her name, what many may never fully realize is just how much she has quietly done behind the scenes. Abby is one of the most humble people you'll ever meet—never looking for recognition, never seeking the spotlight—but somehow always making things happen.

Over the past three years, she has led with kindness, steady determination, and an unwavering commitment to our students, teachers, and families. She has navigated challenges, celebrated successes, brought people together, and worked tirelessly to strengthen our community. So much of what Williams is today reflects her leadership, even if most of us never saw the countless emails, phone calls, meetings, problem-solving, and late nights that made it all possible.

Great leaders aren't measured by how much credit they receive, but by the communities they leave stronger than they found them. Abby has done exactly that.

On behalf of the entire Williams community, thank you, Abby, for your generosity, your countless hours, your calm leadership, and your enormous heart. Your impact will be felt for years to come, and we are incredibly grateful for everything you've given to our school.

Thank you for making Williams a better place for all of us.

Help Create Another Amazing Year at Williams!

As we begin planning for another wonderful school year, we're looking for parent and guardian volunteers to help make our events, programs, and community-building activities a success. There are many opportunities available, whether you'd like to help occasionally, work behind the scenes, or take on a larger leadership role.

Click the sign-up link below to explore all available positions and find the one that's right for you! Every volunteer helps strengthen our school community and create memorable experiences for our students and families. 

https://www.williamspto.org/volunteer/169286

We'd especially love to highlight two opportunities that are currently available:

📸 School Picture Day Coordinator
School Picture Day is September 15! The coordinator works with the photographer and school staff, helps keep students organized during photo sessions, and recruits a small team of parent volunteers for the day. It's a great way to support the school through a fun, well-loved event.

🍎 Kindergarten Playdate Coordinator
Help welcome our incoming kindergarten families by coordinating two summer playdates on July 19 and August 23. The PTO provides the treats—you help create a warm and welcoming environment where new students and parents can connect before the school year begins. Both playdates will take place on the Williams Playground. Email presidents@williamspto.org to volunteer.

Thank you for considering volunteering. We couldn't do it without our amazing Williams community!
