Anne T. Dunphy Newsletter
April 10, 2026
Thanks to our 6th grade for helping to brainstorm ideas for next week's Spirit Week! We invite everyone to join in if they'd like!
Remember that on each day, we still have to be able to participate in our learning activities, so spirit week gear shouldn't be a big distraction!
Monday - Sports Day: Wear any sort of sports gear - uniforms, your own team shirt or hat, your favorite college or profesional team... all things sports!
Tuesday - White Out: Wear as much white as you can! (You'll see why later...)
Wednesday - Show & Tell Day: Bring something small or special to help your classmates learn a little bit more about you! Make sure what you bring isn't too large, or too valuable.
Thursday - PJ & Small Stuffy Day: Wear your comfy jammies! (But sneakers if you have PE!)
4th graders are attending a field trip this day. Please do not wear jammies for this trip!
Friday - Anything But a Backpack Day: Bring your things to school in anything... except a backpack!!
4th graders are invited to wear jammies this day!!
6th grade District-Wide Gathering - tonight!
Willi Wear Store is OPEN!
We are so excited to open a spring store full of Willi Wear gear for the whole family!
Ordering will be open through April 26th and items will be delivered within 3 weeks after that. If you would like to keep your order/delivery a surprise, just let us know!
Check out some of the fun new items!
School Committee Corner
FY27 Budget Information
Part of the work of the Wiliamsburg School Committee is to review and approve the school budget. Starting in January we began working with Stacey to ground the budget conversation in the school's vision, in order to ensure that children are always at the center. On 3/25 we looked at a draft budget at the Public Budget Hearing and at the next meeting the School Committee will vote to approve it.
Come learn more about the process at our next monthly meeting on 4/15 at 5:30pm!
