The Willett Chorus is so excited to announce that our winter concert will be held on Thursday, February 8th at 5PM in our new MPR. This chorus is composed of 3rd-6th grade students here at Willett, and we will be singing songs featured in different movies! A massive thank you to the PTA for their continued support of this program.

Attendance (Did You Know?)
Just like everything in life, practice makes progress! The more frequently a student is in school, the more they can practice and learn social skills, how to deal with conflict, and how to be in a community. Students build stronger, more empathetic, and trusting school friendships when they are at school regularly. Each student is an important member of their classroom and school community. Not only does an absent student miss out on this community, their community misses out on the absent student’s unique contributions.

Girls On The Run Is Happening
We are looking for some parents to coach Girls on the Run this year. This is a program for 3rd to 5th girls. If we have enough coaches, we can also have a 6th girls team. The program is designed to inspire girl empowerment by building confidence, kindness and decision-making skills while also working to be able to run a 5k. The team would meet 2 days per week and practice for 1.5 hours (3:15- 4:45) from early March to mid May. The season ends with a 5K run in Sacramento. If interested, please contact Catherine Harrington at [email protected]. Also, please go to this link and register to be a new coach.
