Sycamore Park Is Back In Use
Sycamore Park has always been a safe place that students and staff have used for all sorts of activities. Over the past few weeks, the school has not utilized the park for any type of activity. I am happy to report that starting on Wednesday of this week, we have reclaimed the park as a place where we can do field trips, P.E. activities, and to just run around and play. I am happy that our community can reclaim the park and hope that you will take an afternoon with your children to honor Karim and his family while enjoying what the park has to offer. It is truly wonderful that we have a community park next to school for our enjoyment.
It Is Springtime
With the weather warming up and school coming to a close soon, I hope that your students have enjoyed their time at Willett this year and will forever have warm memories of the time at our school. We will be moving into summer soon and I always reflect on the school year with warm feelings and a smile as I think about how much growth has been made this year. Every year has its challenges but together, we will always overcome any obstacles. We have all grown together and I hope that Willett will continue to stay strong thanks to the Willett community support. Thank you for all that you do for our school..

End Of Year Field Day
At the end of each year, 1st-6th grades hold a Field Day full of games and activities on the grass. This is a great end of year activity for students to enjoy themselves and enjoy their teachers. This year’s Field Day will be on June 5th. If you are interested in supporting the event, Please contact me for more information.
Willett Chorus Concert
Please join us to watch the Willett Chorus in our annual spring concert! This chorus is composed of 3rd-6th grade students here at Willett, and is directed by Ms. Lindsay. The songs have been selected by our 6th graders, and performed by the whole group! Our concert will be held on June 2nd, in the new MPR at 6:00pm. Super special shout out to the PTA for funding this program!
Lost And Found Wednesdays
Starting this week, all lost and found items will be displayed on the main quad throughout the school day every Wednesday. Classes will be touring the items to find what has been lost. Please swing by at the end of the day to find any missing items that your student may have lost. At the end of the school year, all unclaimed items will be donated to families in need.
