Thanks to Williams Alliance for the Arts and Kris Williams especially for sponsoring a visit from photographer and documentary filmmaker Efren Lopez this past week. Mr Lopez held a Q&A session after sharing his documentary with our 8th graders. Very powerful film about his military service in Afghanistan. What a great addition to the Identity through Photography project! You can view the photographs from our students' participation in this project at The Gallery in Williams throughout the month of April.
What a great community event with huge support and turnout! WUSD # 2 was in attendance. A great event to connect community resources and needs all in one!

How cool...The Lowell Observatory visiting Ms. McMahon's classroom and teaching students about spiders, specifically tarantulas and black widows! Yay for hands-on learning!
Friendly reminder for our Seniors and their parents, FAFSA Night is tonight 5-7 PM in room 15. Seniors who are planning on attending any type of training after high school should fill out the FAFSA as there might be awards that can help you pay for your continuing education. Even if you haven’t decided if you will attend a college, university, or trade school maybe an award of over $6,000 that you do not have to pay back would help you decide. The application is free. It takes about 20-30 minutes to fill out.
Our Lady Vikes (now the #7 seed heading into the remainder of the 1A AIA State Playoffs) will play Thursday 2/20 @ 4:30 pm at Yavapai Community College in Prescott...1100 E. Sheldon St. vs. # 2 seed Rock Point. #LadyVikes #AIA365 #MaxPreps #GoVikes
Need some inspiration as we head back to school tomorrow? Look no further than our custodial office! Thanks to one of our great custodians, Abelina Hernandez, there's always some positive messages hanging up. Also, she makes our school sparkle! #TheWilliamsWay #PrincipalProject
