WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Current Head Of School Sue Wells plans to retire at the end of the 2021-2022 school year.

The Board of Trustees engaged Wickenden Associates, a national firm, to support the search. Consultants Laura Hansen and Eric Peterson are working on all stages of the search.

The consultants are hosting meetings to connect with all members of the Pine Cobble community in order to learn more about the school. School community members have been invited to a listening session and should receive an invitation. Listening sessions will be held with all community members, including families, faculty, staff, alums, and trustees.

The school also encourages school community members to share their thoughts and perspectives by filling out a confidential survey, which will help inform the search process.

Please complete the survey by Friday, May 28.

St. Stan's Students Spread Holiday Cheer at Williamstown Commons

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Students from St. Stanislaus Kostka School in Adams brought the holiday spirit to Williamstown Commons on Thursday, delivering handmade Christmas cards and leading residents in a community caroling session.

"It honestly means the world to us because it means the world to them," said nursing home Administrator Alex Fox on Thursday morning. "This made their days. This could have even made their weeks. It could have made their Christmas, seeing the children and interacting with the community."

Teacher Kate Mendonca said this is the first year her class has visited the facility, noting that the initiative was driven entirely by the students.

"This came from the kids. They said they wanted to create something and give back," Mendonca said. "We want our students involved in the community instead of just reading from a religion book."

Preparation for the event began in early December, with students crafting bells to accompany their singing. The handmade cards were completed last week.

"It's important for them to know that it's not just about them during Christmas," Mendonca said. "It's about everyone, for sure. I hope that they know they really helped a lot of people today and hopefully it brought joy to the residents here."
