As we closed the year marking MSW’s 50th anniversary, a group of students became “administrators for a day,” taking over office duties, decision-making, meeting attendance, and much more! Pictured, Lower Elementary student Olivia Lynch became our MSW Registrar/Director of Admissions. Here’s our “Registrar’s” message to all families as school year 2023-2024 closes:
MSW sends Olivia’s wish to all families in the school, and we add our message that families everywhere experience a peaceful, joyous summer of blue skies, baseball, blossoms, books, and barbecues! We look forward to seeing our friends in September when school begins again!
