Week of January 20, 2012The Williams School works with each child to build an enduring foundation

for academic, moral, and social success. Williams School students embody

integrity, confidence, discipline, and a love of learning.

Dear Williams School Families,

Our annual Alumni Association series Heroes Among Us featured Admiral John C. Harvey,

Jr. this past Wednesday at the Town Point Club. The event was, as promised, memorable. Joining us were agreat mix of people that included parents, parents of alumni, grandparents, board members, friends in our

community, alumni, faculty and current students. Admiral Harvey spoke of the correlation of his own success inthe Navy being much like that of a students journey through school, stating that he could not have achieved

the success he enjoys today without the support and guidance he received from others along the way. When hespoke of his childrens time here at Williams, he repeatedly made reference to our faculty and the important

part they played in his childrens lives. Prior to Admiral Harveys presentation, we were serenaded by Olivia

Behling (11) and Karen Jackson on the violin, and their musical talents impressed us all. The movie, OurThree Words followed, prepared by our 8

thgrade and Debbie Adams. On behalf of The Williams School Girl

Scout Troop, Schaefer S. presented the Admiral with a box of Savannah Smiles cookies commemorating the

100th

birthday of Juliette Gordon Low, founder of the Girl Scouts, and our TWS troops service to our militaryforces. Wonderful candid shots of our students, taken by parent Susan Lowe, were on display and are now on

view in the Old Main foyer. Many of the traits depicted in the photos are the same traits described in the newAlumni Association Award named in honor of Admiral Harvey.

Middle school students, teachers, parents, and guests report that Thursdays Guest Lunch was

enjoyed by all. Thank you to all who made our day such a success, especially our fifth grade students whoassisted with the event.

Have a great weekend!

Melanie
