BABY PORTRAITS
The 5th Grade baby pages in the Williams yearbook are a fun tradition for our students. Every family has an opportunity to submit a picture of their student as a baby/toddler. The students all love finding themselves and their friends on those pages. Visit the Yearbook page for instructions on how to upload your student's baby portrait.
