November Happenings
The PTO is collecting your extra candy Monday through Wednesday. The collection bins will be placed near the Humpty Dumpty statue and the mural entrance at the school from 8am-3pm each day.
Bring out your books! Books for kids! Books for grownups!
Donate your gently used books including: board books, picture books, early readers, middle grade and YA chapter books.
We are also collecting adult fiction, non-fiction (no textbooks please), and COOKBOOKS!
Collection bins will be outside the front entrance and playground-side entrance.
Wednesday, November 20th 12-7pm.
Anyone interested in joining the book fair planning committee or volunteering at the book fair can email gupta.rachelle@gmail.com.

Williams PTO will host an 8-week musical theater session for performers of all ages!

The program will be led by Melanie Donnelly, Angier After School's theater director, with assistance from Williams' own Manon Paul.
