Williams Weekly #10 · Monday, October 26, 2026

Hi Williams families!
Sorry this is hitting your inbox a little later than usual! It’s been a Monday for sure over here, so thank you for bearing with me.
Don’t forget: tomorrow is a special early dismissal day, with pickup at 12:10 p.m.! Make sure that one is on your calendar.
This week’s highlight is one you don’t want to miss, so make sure to read that section below and stay tuned for more information!
We’re also looking for book fair volunteers, so please consider signing up if you can lend a hand. While you’re getting ready for the fair, don’t forget to set up your child’s e-wallet. And if you haven’t already, be sure to sign up for the fall sports clinic!
Hope everyone’s week is off to a good start—or at least that your Monday has been a little more cooperative than mine!

Williams PTO Communications Director

Get ready for the Williams PTO's biggest fundraiser of the year! Our Online Auction runs November 20 – December 4, featuring an exciting selection of items, experiences, and opportunities to bid while supporting our school!
The celebration culminates with our 4th Annual Williams PTO Gala on Saturday, December 5, from 7–10 PM, at the Arnow Campus Center at Lasell University (13 Woodland Road).
Join us for a fun-filled evening featuring delicious food, drinks, an exciting live auction, and a chance to connect with fellow Williams parents, guardians, and community members!
Every dollar raised goes directly back to supporting our students, teachers, school, and community—funding enrichment programs, classroom resources, special events, and so much more.
Bid, celebrate, connect, and give back!
Together, we can make a big difference for our Williams community!
Please note: The Gala is a 21+ event.
