The Kindness Club at Williams Elementary recently set up and ran a Hot Chocolate Bar for teachers throughout the school. The kids even made classroom deliveries! Big shout out to all the kids for their sweetness, hard work, and leadership.

Mrs. Grabiec's 3rd Grade class at Williams Elementary recently enjoyed a pizza party! Her class set a goal at the beginning of the year to earn 20 compliments for high level behavior during specials, at lunch, recess, and more. They met their goal and had such a slice day! 😂🍕

As we begin Winter Break, we should also be preparing for the Winter Weather Storm coming this week. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning in effect from Thursday (12/22) through Saturday. This warning includes below-freezing temperatures, dangerous winds, and snow. While our students will be away on break, we are still thinking about their safety. Here are some safety tips for playing in the snow over break AFTER the storm has passed. We wish you all a safe and relaxing holiday season. We look forward to seeing the kids back in 2023.

The 5th Grade Winter Band Concert will be at 6 p.m. tomorrow (12/20) at Riddle Elementary School. Wear your festive holiday gear along with our musicians to celebrate a successful semester of music making!

Get ready! Winter Break starts Thursday, December 22 and students will not return to school until Tuesday, January 3, 2023. Teachers will return on Monday, January 2nd for Teachers Institute.
