Congratulations to Natalia Efimova, Abbie Liebman, and Molly Kellogg! These three Williams parents will serve as the parent representatives on the Williams School Council with Dr. Connolly. We appreciate their interest in improving our school and their willingness to serve!
We are excited to be able to share with the community a video about technology needs at Williams that was created by some Lasell students in December. The good news is that we have made a lot of progress since the video was made and we have purchased more computers and projectors and other items from our list of technology needs. We are thankful to all the Williams families who have participated in the technology fundraising drive to date.
However, we have not yet reached our goal, and the technology needs list remains long. It is not too late to contribute!
Reminder: Sign-up for a ten minute slot for a confidential conversation with Assistant Superintendent Pat Kelly on Thursday, May 6 regarding Dr. Midge Connolly’s first year as Principal. Please contact Dottie Callaghan ([email protected]; 617-559-6480) to schedule a time between 8 AM and 9:30 AM.
