Williamston Primary School

Ready, set, third grade! 🚀 Our 2nd graders spent an exciting day at EJ Hayes last week as they prepare to become 3rd graders. They toured classrooms, met teachers, and practiced the routines that will help them shine next year.

Ready for the next chapter! 🎉 Our Martin Innovative Elementary students visited Riverside Middle School last week to explore their future classrooms and get a feel for life in 6th grade. From meeting teachers to walking the halls, students left excited and a little more confident about the transition.

Field Day was a huge success on Monday, May 18! 🎉 A massive shout-out to MCHS Athletics for volunteering and helping run our many events, and special thanks to Coach Lilley for organizing everything. We’re so grateful to our parents for joining in and supporting the fun.

What a joyful day for our Pre-K students! 🌞🌊 Last week we visited the NC Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores, learned about sea life, and shared a picnic lunch right on the beach. Seeing their curiosity and smiles made the day unforgettable.

A huge thank-you to our community partners at Jersey Mike’s for supporting WPS! Several friendly representatives stopped by on Friday to hand out coupons to students and staff. We appreciate your generosity and community spirit

Did someone say puppet party? 🎭✨ Every student from Pre-K through 5th grade enjoyed Rainbow Puppet Productions’ live show “Getting There” — a joyful, educational ride from classic characters like Jack and Jill and the Little Engine That Could to Abraham Lincoln and Pocahontas, even traveling all the way to outer space! Created by Virginia author/puppeteer David Messick, who writes 2–3 books a year and turns them into inspiring puppet shows, the performance celebrated reading, learning, and positive messages. Students laughed, jumped, and danced along — a perfect blend of fun and literacy.

Creepy-crawly classroom alert! 🐞🐜 Mrs. Raynor’s Pre-K explorers spent the day discovering bugs and their habitats — curiosity + hands-on learning = big smiles. They made their own marshmallow-and-chocolate bugs — cute, creative, and totally snackable!

Wondering how to celebrate success? Mrs. Toler’s 2nd grade class met their monthly i-ready goals — so they spent the day enjoying a sunny class picnic! 🎉🥪🌞 Seeing students relax, laugh, and connect after hard work was the best reward.

Our Kindergarten students had a meaningful, hands-on learning experience at the NC Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores. They observed diverse ocean life, ate lunch at the beach, and practiced observational skills while collecting shells. It was a great day!

Due to mechanical difficulties, bus 224 is running behind schedule this morning.

Ready to dance the day away? 🎶 Put on your dancing shoes and join us for the PTA Spring Fling on May 8! This event is for Williamston Primary students only. Admission fee is $5.00 and a snack will be provided.

Have you ever watched learning take flight? 🐦✨ Mrs. Raynor’s PreK students observed birds right outside their classroom window, then got hands-on by making bird feeders from pinecones, peanut butter, and bird seed. It was a perfect mix of observation, creativity, and care for wildlife.
