WIMS ALUMNI ENJOY A REUNION BEFORE HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION

On May 7, over 75 students and parents of students from the class of 2003 came together at Eli’s on Whitney for a reunion dinner before they graduate high school in June. There was a slideshow, a WIMS trivia game, and an array of photo albums and yearbooks that everyone was able to enjoy. The students were joined by current administrators Mrs. Sharyn Esdaile and Mrs. Michelle Coogan, as well as Mrs. Ingrid Doviak, Mrs. Daniella Amodio, Mr. David Levine, Miss Jennifer Zaneski, and Mrs. Kathy Morse. Former principal Dr. Dale Bernardoni, former fifth grade teacher Mrs. Denise Rose, and former nurse Mrs. Mary Coughlin also joined in on the fun. The class of 2003 was the first fourth grade class when the school opened in 1998 and were also the oldest kids in the school twice!
