The board sets the purpose and policies of the School, ensures its financial stability, plans for its future, and hires the Head of School, who is responsible for the day-to-day operation of the School.<\/p>\n<p>The involvement of the WSMS board has been instrumental in so many important accomplishments over the years. Among the highlights are the purchase of our current building in 1974; the hiring of Marlene Barron as head of school in 1979; the renovation of our rooftop play space and Garden level in 1983; the construction of a two-story addition at the rear of our building in 1996; the \u201cgreening\u201d of our classrooms and kitchen in 2009; the creation of our Parents Room\/Library in 2011; the establishment of the Founders Fund for Financial Aid in 2013; and the hiring of current head of school Loren\u00a0<span class=\"il\">DeNicola<\/span> in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>We are deeply grateful to our current\u00a0and former board members, all of whom\u00a0have given of themselves so willingly and\u00a0generously in helping to secure the future\u00a0of our school.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<section
