Fisheree
The Fisheree was a lot of fun! Thank you to Lakeside Bait and Tackle for providing the bait and the prizes. We also appreciate Williams Bay Police Department, Mr. Quinn, Mrs. Panek, and Mrs. Hopkins for all they do to prepare and run this event. Noone fell in the lake this year and all of the families seemed to have a great time.
The winner of the longest fish are pictured below.
Williams Bay Greenspace
Our Williams Bay Greenspace is open to students, teachers, families, and community members who wish to help care for our school garden. There is an attached schedule for organizing the maintenance and harvesting of the vegetable garden, if you would like to sign up. It's free veggies! We would only need one day that week for someone to come in, which is why we will block off the week when someone signs up. If there is ever an issue, simply email me at aanderson@williamsbayschool.org. Further information will be emailed out soon, stay tuned as Ms. Soskich and I put together a facebook page for garden updates!
We have a ton of vegetables already sprouted and growing in small milk jug greenhouses, including green beans, radishes, watermelons, squash, peas, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, leeks, lettuce, peppers, cauliflower, and carrots.
We look forward to offering this every summer, with a garden that continues to grow each year in size!

Old News
Sensory Processing & Big Emotions Workshop: Free for Parents & Caregivers
One of the best ways we can support and nurture our children is understanding how they uniquely experience and respond to the world!
See this FLYER
Children make sense of the world through how their body and brain receive, organize, and respond to sensory input. Sometimes a child’s response to sensory stimuli can be over-reactive (really big) or under-reactive (shut down), leading to big emotions and big behaviors.
In this engaging workshop, you will:
- Learn that behavior is communication
- Understand how sensory processing leads to a deeper connection with your child
- Gain strategies/tools that honor your child’s individual differences
- Learn how to support your child and yourself during and after times of big emotions/behaviors
WHEN: Tuesday, June 18, 2024
WHERE: Covenant Harbor, Geneva Bay Center
Playground Safety
Please help us keep all students safe on the playground by reviewing this Playground Rules Video with your child. Students viewed this video at the beginning of the year and are often reminded to play safe at recess.
End of the Year Fun!
We have some fun days the last week of school. June 3 is Field Day. This is a day filled with activities in the school and outside. June 4 is Bounce House Day. Each grade level has a timeframe to enjoy playing in the bouncies that will be set up in the gym. Students need tennis shoes for field day and socks to play in the Bouncies! Students who are not safe, respectful, and responsible will not participate in the Bouncies on June 4. Please help us remind students to be kind and safe.
