John R. Williams School

Thank you World of Wonders Science Museum for helping students hear the ocean with exciting sea shell activities at our July Camp!

Jaguars are practicing patience, active listening and rhythm while sharing their feelings through drumming! Students in our after school program are taking trips to the John R. Williams library for percussion lessons with Zan Headley of DrumBus. During their most recent lesson on Monday, Zan led his class on call-and-response exercises, inviting students to break down the words for their favorite snacks through drum beats.

Every John R. Williams student is worthy of celebration! April 30 is Day of the Child, or Día del Niño, an annual tribute to children and the important role they play in our lives. To mark this occasion today, students enjoyed a special surprise during lunch courtesy of our staff. 1st and 2nd Graders enjoyed freeze pops with their meals and enjoyed some delicious treats with their friends!

We invite parents and guardians to celebrate our school's cultural diversity and friendly community next Tuesday! Pastries With Parents returns to John R. Williams at 7:30 AM on May 5. Visitors can check in at the front gate and are encouraged to wear attire representing their heritage in honor of Cinco De Mayo.
