Students Become Focused Leaders of Williams Middle School Williams Middle School 7th graders, Scott Hood (left) and Elijah Patterson (right) participate in the F.L.O.W. morning program with Mrs. Powell During the 2019-2020 academic year, Williams Middle School started its Focused Leaders of Williams or F.L.O.W. Morning and Afternoon Enrichment Program. The focus of F.L.O.W. is academic enhancement in the areas of math and ELA for our 7th and 8th grade students. Participants are reached in two ways. The first is a positive start to their morning. Students who arrive to school between 7:30 and 7:35 move into classrooms and began their day with ELA and Math enrichment through vocabulary, math problems, positive quotes and other reading comprehension activities. Afternoon students are assigned to a specific teacher where they have opportunity to focus on areas of needed growth identified through state and district assessments. Teachers strive to use integrated technology to help students begin and end their day in a focused and positive way. The goal of the program is to grow our students. Williams Middle School principal, Pamela Johnson believes that “no matter where our students are, they can show academic growth, and it is important that we take advantage of every moment we have with them.” The F.L.O.W. program does just that. They start and end their day with a certified teacher who can assist them in areas they need most.
