Willard Elementary School

Attention all 3rd graders and parents of 3rd graders. We are currently working hard to help students sign up for Promise 529 savings accounts. The Randolph County Foundation along with Willard are working to get ALL of our 3rd grade students a college savings account. That includes your child! If you sign up your student before September 18th they will receive $25 in free money from the Foundation. THIS IS FREE MONEY FOR COLLEGE! A paper came home with your child last week with instructions for signing up. Please send in your child’s account number and ugift code after you sign up. If you have any questions please contact your child’s teacher or Willard. YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY!

This is a friendly reminder that all MUM SALE money and orders are due to the Willard office tomorrow. A huge THANK YOU to everyone for your help raising money for our school. It makes a huge difference in the opportunities we can provide our students. Go Warriors!

IMPORTANT REMINDER! For the safety of our students, please do not drop students off at Door #1 between 8:00 and 8:15AM. It is imperative that we keep the bus lane clear during this time. Dropping here puts students in harms way. All morning drop-offs during this time should take place at Door #4 at the southwest corner of the building. THANK YOU!

We have had many students and parents ask about Willard gear. Well, you ask and you shall receive! Willard's online spirit store will be open until October 11th. We have to sell a minimum of 36 items for the sale to be a "go". Happy shopping! http://stores.blue84spirit.com/IN1926
