Literacy for All Conference Scholarships and Funding

 

Sue HundleySue Hundley Memorial Fund

Sue Hundley, a Reading Recovery Teacher Leader and a Literacy Collaborative Trainer at Lesley University, was dedicated to her teaching and her students, and she cared deeply about her own professional growth. Following her death from cancer in May 2000, a memorial fund was established in her name at Lesley University. The fund supports young readers and writers by providing teacher scholarships for professional development and by assisting with the development of literacy materials in classrooms. Please consider a donation in Sue's name. Donations make it possible for two teachers to attend the Literacy for All Conference each year. Donations to the fund can be made through your conference registration form.
