Janet guided me through my first years at WES. She was a trusted confidant and advisor to a beginning inexperienced teacher. Janet was a gamer on field trips. A tireless volunteer every step of the way. Her trips with our 6th grade to Hawley made my trips memorable, especially her "canoe book club" out on the pond.

Janet and I both worked at the Williamstown Elementary School for many years. She was a wonderful asset to our school community. Those were the days!
