Multicultural Night is this week! Thursday, May 27, 6:00 — 8:00 p.m.
We are looking forward to seeing everyone there! Each family will get a “passport” and then travel through the school from “country to country” collecting flag stickers for their passport from each country.
Thanks to all the families who are planning to host a table about their country; we are all looking forward to learning from you.
It is not too late to sign up to perform a brief song or dance on Thursday. If you are interested, please email wendyhurwitz@rcn.com.
We also hope that all families are planning to bring a favorite dish to share that evening, whether or not you are hosting a table.
Williams t-shirts and stuffed animal mascots are available!
On Multicultural Night, you will also have an opportunity to purchase Williams Nation t-shirts ($10) for adults and children in white, grey and red. We will also be selling lion and teddy bear mascots ($8.50).
These items will also be available at the Book Fair on June 11. Please contact Sarah Broughel with questions.
Playground Improvement Committee forming now!
If you are a dreamer, a planner or are good with a hammer (and paint brush) join the playground committee!
We are currently in need of someone to re-paint the four square, hopscotch and basketball lines on the Williams black top. There are also a few rust spots on the play structure that need to be sanded and painted. Going forward, we would like to find a few parents to be in charge of small playground maintenance jobs like this. Please email Liz Mirabile if you can help with this now or in the future.
We are also forming a committee to research improvements to the current play structure and the back field. In 2012, we’re slated to receive some money for our playground from the Boston Marathon. We are beginning to collect ideas about what we’d like to do and how we will fund these ideas. If you’d like to join us and/or have some ideas or photos of great play spaces, please email Liz Mirabile. Thanks!
Trekking Tuesdays continue!
As the nice weather continues, we encourage you to leave your car at home and take your children to school on foot, bicycle, or scooter! Do you live near other Williams students? Bring a group with you as you walk!
On Tuesdays, all children, whether they have walked to school or come by car or bus, should come to the back of the school to join Dr. Connolly as she walks with kids around the back field.
