Stay Healthy and Keep Reading!
Please do your part to help us with Book Care in the WISD Media Center.
- Always keep books dry and clean.
- Return your books on time.
- Use a bookmark to help keep pages looking neat.
- Shelve AR books in the correct spot with the spine out.
- Notify Mrs. Lowrie or Mrs. Connie if your book is in need of repair.
Box Tops for Books
It is time for another year of our Box Tops for Books Contest.
Recently, the Box Tops Program decided to go Digital! For now, students may continue to bring in regular Box Tops to their homeroom teacher. Parents, we also need for you to download the new Box Top App. as well. Please Choose "Williamsburg City School" from the list. Receipts are then scanned and checked for participating products and our school is awarded money for books.
Thank you for your participation in our contest this year! Our goal is to raise $1000 for New Books!

Hi Jacket Readers,
It is time to begin our Kentucky Bluegrass Award Book Reviews for Elementary! Over the next few months, I will be posting books from the Kentucky Bluegrass Award List. Please listen to each of the books and then send through a vote to let me know if you liked the book. We will join other readers across the state as we vote for our favorites! It is very simple, and I would love to have a large number of our Jacket Readers participate!
