Service Learning

While 4^th Grade students study the Chesapeake Bay as part of their science curriculum, they also actively maintain operating oyster floats in the Elizabeth River. They clean oyster bags, measure seedlings, and even scrub the floats.

Williams students of all grade levels donate time, talent, and resources across our region’s diverse non-profit organizations. The SCA sponsors the “Coats for Families Drive” to collect winter jackets, gifting them to citizens in need. 1^st Grade students write special letters each November to Veterans in honor of their service. Students host a spring talent show, donating the gate to a charitable cause. Sixth graders work with local master gardeners to grow an organic garden from which they harvest and donate herbs and vegetables to the food pantry and kitchen at Christ & St. Luke’s church to feed those with food insecurities. In addition, our seventh graders partner with the American Red Cross to host three blood drives annually utilizing the Future Donors Curriculum provided by the organization.
