One of my favorite traditions is our amazing holiday cookie decoration and ugly sweater contest at the end of December —
—bringing together faculty, all grades, and friendly faces, in one fun party!

My favorite yearly event is Senior Day.
Over the years, students from all of the grades become very close to each Senior Class. On Senior Day, we, in a way, celebrate them leaving the school and going out into the world. We get to spend the day with them enjoying games and activities—like a dunk tank, spikeball and sports, tie dye, etc.— and have lots of fun. It brings the community together to enjoy the time we have left with our Seniors.

My favorite yearly event at Williams is Compchorea.
This is a music and dance show featuring original student composition and choreography. Our dance teacher also choreographed two dance pieces that you have to audition for. I love participating both in the choreographed dances, and by making my own. I love how the participants all come together through the late nights and long dress rehearsals. It is really a way to bond with people you might not get to talk with on a regular basis.

My favorite event at Williams is Spirit Week.
The Williams school community comes together and shows their Blues pride enthusiastically. The school dresses up as well as participates in activities such as the school wide lip sync battle where each grade comes together and creates a lip-sync routine to raise morale.
