ARLENE W. THOYRE EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIP Recipient: Caroline Hehir Program: Elementary Education Accelerated Teacher Licensure Certification (ACEE)
Arlene and Howard Thoyre established this scholarship. Arlene taught 4th, 5th and 6th grade students in North Dakota, Madison and Stevens Point for more than 30 years. Her teaching career began in a small North Dakota coal mining town where her 6th grade class consisted of nine girls and 20 boys, two of whom were on probation from a juvenile correctional facility. It was a challenging year, but an invaluable experience. Arlene credits much of whatever success she enjoyed over the rest of her career to what she learned in that first classroom.
