Going anywhere cool this summer? Take Ichabod with you!
Pick up a “Flat Ichabod” in the front office (or print him from here).

Then, snap a picture of him experiencing all of your summer adventures! Whether you’re heading to the beach, the mountains, another state, or even another country, we want to see where Ichabod travels this summer.

Be creative and have fun! Share your photos with us in the comments so we can celebrate all of Ichabod’s amazing adventures around the world!

Congratulations to Lyana V. for being crowned our May Table Manners Competition Champion!
Over the course of four weeks, students in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th grades competed to demonstrate the very best table manners and dining etiquette. Students were rigorously judged on the 7 good manners principles that are taught and reinforced throughout the school year.
Lyana earned the highest overall score across ALL participating grade levels and was awarded a $25 Amazon gift card for her outstanding performance and exemplary manners!
We would also like to congratulate our grade level winners:
⭐ Regan F.
⭐ Josie V.
⭐ Gavin O.
Each of these students received a $10 Amazon gift card for their achievements.
We are so proud of all of our participants for demonstrating respect, responsibility, and excellent table etiquette. Thank you for setting such a wonderful example for others!

A group of talented students from Mrs. Haus’s class recently took center stage as they performed their Reader’s Theater play for their grade level!

Their enchanting production, Fairy Tale Court, brought beloved fairy tale characters together in a fun and creative courtroom drama that kept the audience entertained from beginning to end. Students did an incredible job bringing their characters to life through expressive reading, teamwork, and outstanding performance skills.

Reader’s Theater is a wonderful way for students to build fluency, confidence, and public speaking skills while having fun with literature.

We are so proud of these students for all of their hard work and for sharing their creativity with their peers!

Our 3rd graders recently transformed their classrooms into an amazing Arts & Crafts Market! 🎨🛍️
Teachers and students had the opportunity to walk through the classrooms and “shop” for one-of-a-kind treasures created entirely by our talented 3rd grade students. From colorful crafts to creative handmade items, every table was filled with imagination, hard work, and artistic talent.
This special event not only showcased our students’ creativity, but also gave them the chance to practice teamwork, responsibility, and communication while proudly sharing their work with others.
We are so proud of our young artists and entrepreneurs for all of the effort they put into making this event such a success!

School Supply List for 2026-2027

Today was a truly special day at Williams as we welcomed back our Senior Class of 2026 for one final walk through the halls where so many of their memories began.

Our students and staff lined the hallways with cheers, smiles, high-fives, and congratulations during their Senior Clap Out celebration. Seeing these once little cranes return as accomplished young adults was an emotional reminder of how quickly time flies and how proud we are of each and every one of them.

It was especially meaningful to have some former Williams teachers return to celebrate alongside them. A heartfelt thank you to Mrs. Huston, Mrs. Maxwell, Mr. Burks, Mr. Newman, and Mr. Kurowski for coming back to honor the achievements of our grown-up cranes. Your presence made the day even more memorable.

To the Class of 2026 — wherever your journey takes you next, know that you will always have a home here at Williams. We are so proud of the amazing individuals you have become and cannot wait to see all that your future holds. Congratulations, Seniors!
