Wellesley Town Buzz — a round-up of things to come

May 8, 2019 by Deborah Brown Leave a Comment

Welcome to spring in Wellesley, where it’s full speed ahead. Your imagination is not overactive. There really are 101 events that absolutely, positively demand your presence from end-of-school-year events to fundraisers to award ceremonies and more, more, more.

Sure we post individually about all this stuff, but here’s a list that might make staying on top of things a little easier.

Keep your eye on the prize that is summer, people, when the living will so much easier, I promise.

Thanks to iCode for their sponsorship of Wellesley Town Buzz. Register your child today for a summer camp experience that will immerse them in a world of coding, robotics, drones, and design.
