Harvest Feast time!
Friday, October 23rd
Please join us Friday, October 23rd from 5-7pm for our annual Harvest Feast - a community potluck that gives us the opportunity to taste various foods made by ATD students using ingredients from the school garden, join us together to celebrate the school gardening program and gathers us to support the PTO with a silent auction and pie sale (the PTO funds various school programs such as field trips, teacher grants, teacher appreciation gifts, science night, and much, much more).

It's time to get ready for our Fall Caregiver Conferences! These will take place on the evenings of Wednesday and Thursday, November 4th & 5th ~ and the afternoon of Friday, November 6th. These will be half days for students, with dismissal at 11:45.
Please use the link below to sign up for your conference. If you have trouble with the platform, please call the school and we can help!
Kindergarten in the Art Studio
Kindergarteners are using their ceramicist skills while making clay creations. They are learning to attach clay using the four 'S' words: Score, Slip, Stick, and Smooth.
PTO Family Directory
At the bottom of this (and each newsletter going forward), you will find a link to the PTO Family Directory. Families who wished to have their information shared provided it to families earlier in the year. The hope is that families use this as a resource to connect outside of school! If your information is incorrect, or if you would like your information to be included, you can email the PTO: williamsburgpto@gmail.com
Girls on the Run!
Our Girls on the Run team has been hard at work in the last month - learning lessons about Star Power, Happy Pace, and Self-Talk. Their practice 5K will be held afterschool at ATD on Thursday. Come by and cheer them on!
