New Nolensville Area Schools Receive Technology Donations

Published October 22, 2015

The three new Nolensville schools recently received donations to go toward technology needs from Williamson Inc.

Mill Creek Elementary and Mill Creek Middle each received $3,000 and Nolensville High received $8,000 at the chamber meeting on Thursday, October 15. The donation was part of the remaining funds from the Nolensville Chamber after it merged with Williamson Inc.

“This generous donation allows Mill Creek Middle to increase the variety of options that will be ready for students when they arrive,” said Mill Creek Middle Principal Kari Miller. “Specifically, it helps us get a jump on some of our innovative technology projects, such as our shared K-8 convergence space, where Mill Creek Elementary and Mill Creek Middle students will learn in a collaborative way.”

Not only will the new equipment help students work together in creative ways, but it will help students learn and excel in fundamental skills needed for their future development as citizens.

“Technology is critical to prepare students for an ever-changing society,” said Mill Creek Elementary Principal Julie Sparrow. “Additionally, it is now part of state assessments so students must have mastered foundational technology skills in order to show their mastery of academic concepts.”

The support offered by the Nolensville community is essential and will continue to be essential to the success of the students, teachers, staff and schools as a whole in the coming months and years as each school prepares to open its doors for the 2016-17 school year.

“We are really thankful for our community here in Nolensville,” said Nolensville High Principal Bill Harlin. “Their partnerships and collaboration are essential for the well being of our schools. Not only do they provide materially, but even more important is that they provide great connections, great insight and great advice that will really help us build greater schools. We will have excellent programs because of their involvement.”
