WilliamsBubb is a re-creation of a colonial town circa 1775, organized and led by 5th grade students, teachers and parents. Our neighbor, Rick Van Mell, has posted a large collection of pictures and videos from the 2019 WillamsBubb event for your reference. Thank you Rick!
Find out more about this event and how you can help. There is something for everyone.

See more information about colonial men's attire and women's attire online.
Parents that volunteer on the day of the event should also dress in old-fashioned colonial attire. See examples below.
WilliamsBubb is set up like a mini-colonial town. There are a variety of stations or sets, each run by a group of 5th grade students (see list below). In addition to the stations, a massive ship facade is built by parents and volunteers. Throughout the day, all Bubb students in grades K-4 visit the different stations at scheduled times. Finally, the 5th graders perform dances and marches throughout the afternoon.
The stations may include:
Enormous thanks to former Bubb parents, Paul and Anna Hammer, Erin Hung and Sean Sullivan for creating the new back drops for WilliamBubb in 2018.
Below is the schedule from the 2018 WilliamsBubb event. The final schedule for 2020 will be posted at a later date.
Note: dancing and marching are scheduled at frequent intervals.
Bubb parents and families make and serve lunch to all the 5th grade WilliamsBubb students and volunteers on the day of the events. Many volunteers are needed to make this possible. PLEASE sign up to bring items for the lunch and to volunteer the day of the event.
Notes from the 2019 luncheon (thank you Bubb super mom, Vinita!).
Building WilliamsBubb takes many parents and community volunteers. In addition to putting together 15 different stations, we also need to construct the famous ship called Ranger.
Here is the layout from the 2018 WilliamsBubb town. We will post the 2020 layout as soon as it is available.
Our wonderful neighbor, Rick Van Mell, has been documenting WilliamsBubb for many years. Here are the photos and videos from the 2018 WilliamsBubb event. THANK YOU RICK!
