WMS Gymnasium Dedication

Wareham Middle School’s  Gymnasium will soon be dedicated to a beloved, retired Wareham Public Schools teacher and Wareham resident, Pat Cullen.

While a teacher, Mrs. Cullen positively affected many children and staff members with her enthusiasm, compassion and her passion for sports.  She saw sports and the challenges of competition as metaphors for life; she typified a shining example of teacher as coach.

Anyone wishing to make a donation towards the event  may send a check payable to Wareham Middle School c/o Pat Cullen Gym Committee, 4 Viking Drive, Wareham, MA 02571.

The public is cordially invited to the April 2, 2009, dedication which will take place at 6:30 P.M.  in the Wareham Middle School’s (soon-to-be) Pat Cullen Gymnasium.
