An Evening of Family Favorites and Fun

This is a PTA-sponsored, library program that encourages families to read together.

This program is held during the late winter or early spring. Families register and set reading goals for each member. A reading time record is kept and later turned into the library.The program culminates in an evening of entertainment at school followed by dessert.

 

Assemblies

Assemblies are scheduled throughout the year for the students at Willett.

Keep an eye on the "Who's News" newsletter and this website for dates.

 

 

 

Back-to-School Picnic

The annual Back-To-School Picnic is sponsored by the PTA and is held in the Sycamore Park for Willett families and friends. It will be held Sunday, August 21, 2011.

Every family brings their own picnic supper. This is a fun opportunity to meet new friends and visit with classmates.

 

Battle of the Books

Battle-of-the-Books is a library program for 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students. Battles are held in the late spring.

Students form their own teams of four members each. All teams register in the library and must have teacher signatures. The librarian selects 8 titles that will be read by all teams. Titles are not announced until the program is activated. Battles are scheduled allowing 6-8 weeks for reading time. At the battles, questions from each book are asked. Teams decide on a group answer. The highest scoring four teams then meet other highest scoring teams from Patwin and Chavez elementary schools. These three schools exchange titles for a total of six books for Battle questioning.

Challenge Club is an after-school, run/walk program for primary grade students. Watch Who's News for start date info. Contact 2nd grade teacher Suzanne Tanji for more information at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

 

Chorus

Children in grades 3 to 6 are invited to join the Willett Chorus. It meets before school on Wednesdays and most Thursdays (7:55 am to 8:25 am in the MPR). Students may join chorus at any time.

Please fill out the permission slip (http://www.willettpta.org/documents/permissionslips) and submit it to the school office or to the chorus director Claudia Krich.

No singing experience or ability is required to join Willett Chorus.  It is for fun and to appreciate music and singing. Singing in a chorus also increases learning energy and focus in school.

Chorus members will have some opportunities for solo and small group singing in concerts, by audition. The chorus has a number of performances in the fall and the spring. The first performance will be Sunday, November 13.

Regular, on-time attendance is not mandatory, but does help students get the most out of the program.

Contact Chorus Director Claudia Krich ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) with any questions.
