We can't wait to see everyone back to school on TUESDAY, January 7th! I hope everyone had a restful break!
WME Family and Friends,
Happy New Year, or as many educators like to say, Happy 2nd Semester! As we enter 2025, I feel comfortable speaking for all WME staff in wishing you all the merriest new year. Remember, at Williams Magnet, we truly have the best and the brightest! Get some rest this weekend, and we'll see each of you all on Tuesday, January 7, 2025.
Dear Scholars and Families,
As we approach the holiday season, I want to take a moment to wish you all a joyous and restful time with your loved ones. May your days be filled with laughter, love, and the warmth of cherished moments together. Thank you for being such an important part of our school community.
We look forward to welcoming you back in the new year, ready for new learning and growth.
Happy Holidays, Best Wishes, and Merry Christmas to ‘The Best and Brightest.’

Hello WMS Eagle families! School wide Spelling Bee is scheduled to start at 9:00. We will have a live FB started after the spellers get in and settled and do a practice run through of how the flow of the staging area moves. Stay tuned!
Connection isn't great in the room where the spelling bee is being held. If it doesn't go live, we will work to post it afterwards.
We had a great time enjoying cookies and cider at the pta meeting tonight! WMS choir and 4th grade did a great job performing tonight! ❤️💚

WME Family and Friends,
Our 5th grade students had the pleasure of going to a middle showcase at Horace Mann Middle School. Our students had the opportunity to preview clubs, tour the campus, and learn all about the amazing things going on at HMMS. Our very own Scarlett answered a ballet trivia question and won a ballet bar and mat. #LRSD

Please congratulate Jameson and his family for donating over 600 items. Jameson is definitely the King of our Briarwood Toiletry Drive. Way to go, Jameson!

We did it! We collected enough donations to give every resident at Briarwood Nursing Rehabilitation a bag filled with toiletry items. Thank you to everyone who made this project a success. The residents were thrilled to receive the items.
