Friday News from Williams

Congratulations to Youngin Kang in Dr. Jette’s class who is the winner of the Principal for a Day raffle.  Thanks to everyone who has participated in the Williams Technology Fundraising Drive so far; we encourage those of you who haven’t yet donated to send in your envelopes or make a donation online.

Save the date for NewtonSERVES, a day of community service around Newton. Plan to join the team from 12:30 p.m. — 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, April 25, at Williams, to spruce up the school grounds and the playground. Questions? Contact John Sangiolo ([email protected]).

We will be holding a Principal’s Coffee for parents from Williams’ International Community on Wednesday morning, April 28, at 8:30 a.m. in the cafeteria. Please join Dr. Connolly and members of the PTO. All are welcome!
