Get Involved

The PAC is a great way to stay involved in your student's school experience (whether or not they've reached the stage when they don't want anything to do with you). Without the elementary school classroom parties and birthday celebrations that help you get to know other parents/guardians, attending PAC meetings is a great way to meet people and to connect with the staff at Williams. 

If you're not available to attend a PAC meeting in person but would like to get involved, there are many ways to participate and contribute and we hope you'll find the right fit. Financial support alone cannot make PAC events and experiences possible. We rely on parents and guardians who volunteer their time, energy, and expertise for various events throughout the school year:

• Teacher Appreciation: Help plan, pick up treats, set up, distribute, and/or clean up during any of the teacher appreciation events scheduled throughout the year. Volunteers spread the love to WMS teachers and staff by visiting their classrooms with coffee/donut carts, hosting a much-anticipated annual baked potato bar, as well as a week filled with treats and surprises to honor them during Teacher Appreciation Week in the spring.

• Fundraising Support: Help us meet our fundraising goals by donating an item or experience to serve as a fundraising or raffle incentive, reach out to a local restaurant about hosting a fundraising night, help to distribute or post flyers, and more.

• Field Day: Volunteer your morning to assist the teachers who lead the relays or help snap some pictures of all the fun. Take advantage of an opportunity to see the students with their friends and teammates at this memorable end-of-year event. 

• 8th Grade Dance: Donate your time or some snacks to make this event one to remember. Volunteers from all grades are needed to help set up and/or clean up the cafeteria which gets transformed into an unbelievable space for this annual capstone event. Donate some snacks and beverages to keep the 8th graders' energy up as they dance the night away. Rest assured, parents/guardians won't be asked to chaperone!

• Sunshine Committee: Help the PAC support the WMS teachers, staff, and community through milestones and grief. Use PAC funds to shop for just the right thing to bring sunshine to someone's day.

If you have an interest in any volunteer opportunities, email pac.wms@gmail.com. Be sure to look for requests for PAC volunteers in the Williams' Weekly Wrap Up emails sent by the school administration as well as occasional emails that are sent to the PAC mailing list.
