Celebrating National Women’s History Month: Juanita Schlegel
Thu, 03/25/2021 - 12:00am
Mrs. Juanita Phillips Schlegel was selected to celebrate the final week of National Women’s History Month. While checking with students that began their schooling years in Olney as early as the 1940s, we discovered that former students remembered Miss Phillips as not only a good teacher, but she also made the learning process interesting. As a “great storyteller” she helped her students develop a love of reading—especially in an era where there were no television and very little radio.
