Ann Grenier
Henry J. McLaughlin, Jr. Middle School

Nomination by Alison Eastman

Ann has worked at McLaughlin for many years. She teaches 7th grade science. She
works very hard to make her classes fun and educational. Ann cares about all of her
students, but goes the extra mile for those that are in need. Each year she has
some sort of clothing drive. Often coats in the winter, sweaters, shoes/sneakers. In
addition to being a great science teacher, she spends her afternoons and
weekends teaching Horseback riding lessons. This past year was extra challenging
as the owner of the farm she teaches at was diagnosed with breast cancer. Ann
took on more responsibility, taught more lessons, did more management of the
farm/horses to help keep the farm going. She is an incredible role model for all of
the students both at school and the horse farm.
