Beloved Social Worker Mrs. Meyer-Farrell is retiring after 25 years at Jonathan Law.
Meyer-Farrell, who is moving to North Carolina, has made countless contributions to the school community and will be greatly missed. Throughout her time at Law, she has made an impact on hundreds of students.
“My favorite part about working at Law is the students that I have gotten to get to know through the years and working on the SEL committee,” Meyer-Farrell said. “I’ll miss all the people who have become my friends.”
Law Principal Mr. Darcy said that Meyer-Ferrell’s contributions to the Law community were wide-ranging.
“She helped students prepare for being in school, in classes, and prepared them for the experiences that come to you as a high school student and beyond,” Darcy said. “A Social Worker impacts all students in so many different ways that the public may not see or experience.”
Dean of Students Mr. Ragaini described some of the many ways Meyer-Farrell helped students at Law.
“Mrs. Meyer-Farrell has always been there, always showing up for students in ways big and small,” Ragaini said. “Whether they needed someone to talk to, help navigating challenges, or just a calm presence, she provided it all.”
Assistant Principal Mrs. Farotti shared what she will miss most about Meyer-Farrell when she retires.
“I’ll miss working with her everyday,” Farotti said. “She was always a team player and was willing to problem solve anything that came up. She always put in the extra effort when making sure her students were well taken care of. She has always brought a special way of thinking. She brought in a different perspective.”
