New kindergarten teacher at C-G-D Elementary School

One, two, three...98, 99, 100.

One day during her middle school years, Anne Ries met a child who rode the same bus as her. He was having difficulty counting to 100.

So, she decided to help this child. The two started practicing and continued until eventually, the student could do it on their own.

This experience stirred something inside her, the desire to enter the field of education.

Today, Ries is the newest kindergarten teacher at the Clarion-Goldfield-Dows Elementary School. She started at the beginning of the 2014-15 academic year.
