Changes in the Counseling Office
Mrs. Zimmerman, the counselor for students with last names K through Z, has taken a position with Wayne-Finger Lakes BOCES in Newark as coordinator of online instruction. Her last day will be Friday, October 8th.
The administrative team is hard at work interviewing some fantastic candidates to fill both these roles.
Both Mrs. Petrucci and Mrs. Zimmerman will miss working with Williamson students. They wish you all the best as you continue through high school and beyond. You will do great things!

Countdown to SUNY - Grade 9-12 Planning
Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA!) at FLCC
Are you a student with a great idea for a business? Check out the Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA!) at FLCC.
Sept. 30 is the deadline for students in grades 6 through 12 to sign up for the Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA!).
YEA is a 20-week program that guides middle and high school students through launching and running their own businesses or social movements.
Students do not have to enroll with a business idea or a social movement in mind; brainstorming is part of the program. The class ends with a final pitch to local business leaders who have pledged startup funds for the most promising ideas.
Classes begin mid-October and run on Saturday from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. with breaks during holidays and school vacations. Classes will be a mix of in-person and online learning.
Students need to provide a school transcript, an essay and a letter of recommendation. The $20 application fee is waived for students applying to the YEA! program at FLCC through the support of Locate Finger Lakes, a business development organization.
For more information, email to yea@flcc.edu or visit flcc.edu/yea. The Young Entrepreneurs Academy program is a joint project with Cayuga Community College.
