Read any good books lately? The Talk about Books Club — a.k.a. TAB — will be meeting TODAY during all grade level lunches in the library. If you like to read; if you like to talk about books; if you want to know more about the library; or even if you just want to meet new people and have fun at lunch, then TAB is the club for you! No sign-up is necessary — just bring your lunch to the library and get ready for a look at these Totally Awesome Books!!

What are you doing after school this year?! This is the first official week of after school activities and late buses. Daily options for after school activities are listed on the whiteboard outside the cafeteria. And if you plan on taking the late bus, be sure to get a signed bus pass from your teacher or the activity sponsor. See Ms. Hogwood with any questions.

And speaking of after school activities — Williamsburg is making an open call to all 6th, 7th and 8th graders for the Student Council! The Student Council helps to plan all of the amazing school-wide events throughout the year — and it’s a real opportunity for you to step-up and be a LEADER here at WMS. For more information, see Ms. Hogwood at lunch.
