During the last part of the school year, our school partnered grade levels through a buddy class initiative. These partnerships involve activities such as reading together, conducting experiments, and other engaging lessons that promote collaboration and new friendships. Mrs. Carsey's class and Mrs. Newton's class, as well as Mrs. Morgan's class and Mrs. Elliott's class, spent time reading together. Enjoy the highlights from their shared learning experiences.
A special guest reading joined students in Mrs. Mundorff's class at Williamstown Elementary on Friday afternoon. The students thoroughly enjoyed the engaging reading experience with Christie Willis!
While we have been emphasizing strong attendance, engaging learning is also happening every day. This week, Mrs. Carsey's first-grade class explored rainbows through hands-on activities, demonstrating high levels of engagement and active learning.
Due to snowy and icy conditions impacting a significant portion of the southern part of Wood County, Wood County Schools will now be closed today, Tuesday, March 17, 2026. While some areas of the county may not be experiencing the same conditions, roadways in other areas remain hazardous. Because our buses and families travel across many different communities and road conditions, this decision was made to prioritize the safety of all students and staff throughout the entire county. We appreciate your understanding as we work to ensure everyone can travel safely.
Due to various road conditions throughout the county, Wood County Schools will be on a 2-hour delay on Tuesday, March 17, 2026.

Mrs. Elliott's class had 10 stars this week for attendance. The students played card games for their reward. Look how much they are having.
Ms Lisa, the public librarian for Williamstown, was Mrs. Mundorff's guest reader on Friday. She taught the kids all about the library and brought goody bags and library card info for them. We loved it!
Mrs. Morgan’s PreK class had such a fun Dr Seuss week! We made hats to wear for Cat in the Hat, had fun with Thing 1 and 2 crafts, counted Goldfish crackers in fish bowls, made drawings of what we wish we had from I Wish That I Had Duck Feet, made stacking cup towers, dressed like our favorite book character, looked at some green eggs, sorted play eggs with ham and dressed in green. We loved having guest readers and really had a fun filled week in PreK!
I just wanted to take a minute to thank everyone that volunteered for inflatable day! I had way more volunteers than we need. If you were assigned a time, you should have received a schedule earlier this week. It would have come home with your child. Remember to make sure that your child wears socks with their shoes on Monday. Students who sold the specified number of items during the fundraiser will get to go to the inflatables for 2 sessions:)
PreK ended Dr. Seuss week participating in many engaging activities. The Lorax Day- fine motor cutting and gluing patterning 2 and 3 color truffala trees. Rhyming with “Green Eggs and Ham” and counting with the “Foot Book” to end the week. Check out the fun they had.
