Pre-Thanksgiving News

TOMORROW:  Wednesday, November 25th

  • Participate in the last official Walking Wednesday until the spring (although we encourage walking to school all year long)!  Bring non-perishable food donations for the Newton Food Pantry and “Take Footsteps to Feed Families.”
  • Harvest Festival Concert, 10:00 a.m., in the gym
  • Noon Dismissal

Remember:  No School Thursday and Friday (November 26th & 27th)

Earn money for Williams while you shop:

  1. Register your Shaw’s card! Last quarter, we earned $110 with only 35 families participating. If we could register 150 families, we could earn $500-$600 per quarter with no real effort.  Bring your Shaw’s card to the Harvest festival if you would like us to take the number and register your card for you!
  2. Holiday Shopping over the long weekend?  Shop at amazon.com (through the link on the PTO website) in November and earn at least 6.5% of all purchases for Williams!  Bookmark the link through the website just once and you will never need to think about it again.
  3. Shopping through the Boxtop Marketplace also earns money for Williams!
