Books for Bill

Books for Bill is a campaign to honor the memory of Bill Shea and his advocacy for rebuilding Arlington’s schools. The campaign's goal is to raise funds for the purchase of books for the new Thompson School library. As anyone who knew Bill knows, he would much rather see books on the shelves than his name on the door. To make a donation, please click here.
