Ms. Geisselhardt will be missed

by Shamarie Claiborne

Adair County Schools lost one of their own last Friday, July 31, 2015. Ms. Pam Geisselhardt was taken away from us tragically. Everyone has a great Geisselhardt story. Today, during the Adair County Schools "Opening Day" there was a table set up in her memory and folks were asked to write their favorite story or memory of her. These will be given to the family. Everyone stopped and wrote their memories.

My story concerns my youngest son who she noticed had signs of Dyslexia. After being tested sure enough he did. With her keen eye and experience she identified something that could have truly hindered him. Instead we found out in first grade. And after three years with Ms. Geisselhardt had provided him with skills to compensate. He is now a great student and identified as Gifted and Talented in Math. That is one example of a million moments in her long career that changed a students and their families life.

Superintendent Reed, in his notification to us all stated "I had the privilege of working with Pam for a number of years. We all know that Pam was an innovative classroom teacher with a passion for young learners. She was also a champion for educators, heading the local teachers association for several years." And concluded with this heartfelt thought "Ms. Geisselhardt was a true scholar and will be missed by her many friends and colleagues in the educational community, within our district and across the state."

The Adair County Schools was lucky to have such a great lady working with it staff and students. Ms. Geisselhardt you will be missed.
