For Anne, the scholarship is an acknowledgement of the
teachers that inspired her interest in the field, and a way for her to
encourage and assist a WCS graduate with an interest in the career she so
enjoyed. “As a teacher” she notes, “I experienced the satisfaction, joys and
challenges of being part of the learning of and growth of students. I wanted to
create a scholarship that would assist a Wellsville graduate in pursuit of a
teaching degree.”
Anne devoted almost thirty-five years to Wellsville Schools,
twenty-four and a half of those teaching grades 3-6 - spending the most years
in 5th grade; she also served for ten years as district wide reading
supervisor.
A graduate of Andover Central School, Anne earned her
bachelor’s degree at Buffalo State College, and her master’s degree at SUNY
Geneseo. She completed her school administrator credential through St.
Bonaventure.
