information about meetings, professional development opportunities, curriculum and program development,
grant awards, and school committee news. The bulletin is also the official vehicle for job postings. Please

Dear Colleagues,
On March 18, at the Chair Ceremony sponsored by the Wellesley Education Foundation and graciously hosted at
the home of the President of Wellesley College, five individuals were honored for attaining the milestone of
twenty-five years' service to the Wellesley Public Schools. It is a sign of our times that the number of people who
reach this milestone in service to any single organization has become increasingly rare. But we all know how
much we benefit from the experience and wisdom gained by our colleagues who choose to provide years of
continuous service, and wonderful service it has been. Please join me in congratulating
