Memorial Day (No School)

Quick reminder that there will be no school on Monday, May 27th due to the Memorial Day holiday. Enjoy your long weekend!.

2nd Grade Spring Musical

Second grade has been busy preparing for their Spring musical, Character Matters. This musical is about fairytale characters and the importance of building character and good social skills. This musical helps to support The Kelso’s Choice program that has been embedded in our curriculum at Willett. All second grade students are participating in the musical. The school performance is Tuesday, May 28th at 10:30 a.m. for students and on Wednesday, May 29th at 6:00 p.m. for families. The musical will take place in our new MPR. Hope to see you there!

Please join us for our annual Spring Chorus Concert on Thursday, May 30th at 6:00 p.m. The concert will take place in the new MPR and features students in 3rd- 6th grade highlighting this year's 6th grade students. We would like to thank the Willett PTA for their generous support. 

Congratulations to the Willett Robotics Club!

The members of the Willett Robotics Club competed in the Davis Youth Robotics competition on Tuesday, May 21 at Davis Senior High School. Willett teams took first, second and third place, sweeping the podium! Mrs. Cook and Mr. Fluetsch, the club advisors, are very proud of all the hard work the team members put in this year.

The Willett Robotics Club is open to 6th grade Willett students. We will start a new club session next September. If your rising 6th grader is interested, they can contact either Mrs. Cook or Mr. Fluetsch.
