Battle of the Books Club

Elementary Battle of the Books (EBOB) is a fun reading program for 4th and 5th grade students that fosters a love of reading while encouraging teamwork. Students read a set list of high-quality titles independently, exposing them to a wide range of literature and building comprehension skills. After completing their reading and team practice, students compete in a friendly competition against other elementary schools in the district by answering questions about the books.

Student Council

Student Council at Williamsburg Elementary is a leadership-based club for 5th grade students. The program focuses on developing leadership skills, building confidence in public speaking, and learning how to effectively promote and organize school-wide activities.

Members of Student Council are selected based on their strong academic performance and exemplary behavior, consistently demonstrating our school’s ROAR expectations. These students serve as role models and help foster a positive school community.

Harvest Festival

Our Harvest Festival is a cherished, long-standing fall tradition and PTA fundraiser that brings the entire community together to support our school. Families can enjoy hayrides, explore the book fair, and bid on exciting auction items, while kids enjoy inflatables, snacks, and a "haunted hallway" for a spooky thrill. Every ticket and treat purchased directly supports the school and our students.
