The Williamsburg PTSO is involved with many different activities to help raise money for the school. A long time favorite and one of the most successful fundraisers is the annual Harvest Festival which is held the last Saturday in September. The whole community enjoys the Festival's barbecue/hotdog supper, country store, games, raffles and auction. This year's date is Saturday, September 22, 2012.
A tradition started in 2009 is the Spring Festival, held the last Saturday in April. Our next Spring Festival will be our fifth annual and will be held on Saturday, April 27, 2013. Like the Harvest Festival, it includes a dinner and games, but instead of an auction, the highlight is a car show.
Through these fundraisers, the PTSO is able to support the school. Here is a list of items the PTSO has purchased for Williamsburg in the past years:
