Lisa Rogers has been at the John D. Hardy Elementary School since 1999 and a library teacher there since 2001. Rogers holds a B.A. in English Literature from The College of William and Mary in Virginia, an M.A. in English Literature from Boston College, and an M.L.S. in Library and Information Science from Southern Connecticut State University.
This year, Rogers will run the Boston Marathon in support of the World of Wellesley (WOW).
"I am excited to be running my fourth Boston Marathon, and proud to run, this time, for the nonprofit World of Wellesley, for my students, and for my community,” said Rogers. “The World of Wellesley is dedicated to making our town a welcoming place for everyone. From community reads to hosting films, lectures, and discussions on race and diversity, to sponsoring multicultural celebrations and a fifth-grade writing contest, WOW's efforts reach into every part of our increasingly diverse community. It feels great to be supporting an organization that benefits my students, their families, my colleagues, and my neighbors. WOW works to create a community that welcomes and includes everyone. That's a goal everyone can get behind!"
