ANN SHENIGO HONORED AS ATHENA AWARD NOMINEE
Fifth grade teacher Ann Shenigo was honored on Friday by the Lynchburg Regional Chamber and Successful Innovations, Inc. as an "Athena Award"
nominee. Mrs. Shenigo was among seventeen women professionals from all across the region nominated for this award w hich is given in communities across the nation.
"Your ability to instruct classes large and small, with such diverse abilities is skilled and intentional to produce students that think critically, at high levels, and with solid moral foundations," writes parent Maureen Sheedy-Morris.
Ann Shenigo has taught fifth grade and third grade at Holy Cross Regional Catholic School, and her guidance in and out of the classroom is legendary. She directed her twentieth Middle/Elementary School musical last year. It was her third rendition of
the Wizard of Oz, adding something new and different to it each time.
The Athena Award was presented at the Women of Worth luncheon held at the Kirkley Hotel on Friday, October 30. The Award was inspired by the goddess
of Greek mythology known for her strength, courage, wisdom and enlightenment - qualities embodied in the ATHENA Leadership ModelŽ. The Award is unique in both scope---local, national and international---and the
ATHENA mission upon which it is based. The ATHENA Leadership AwardŽ is presented to a woman ---or man--- who is honored for professional excellence, community service and for actively assisting women in their attainment of professional excellence and leadership skills.
