Sidney Beckwith: educator, leadership trainer
extraordinaire
We learned a lot about our
newest member Sidney Beckwith last week.
Sidney is an excellent speaker with a very interesting background in
education and leadership training.
A Michigan native, Sidney began
her career as an educator teaching reading to ages 6-8 in Boston public
schools. At the time, the school
was in the process of desegregation such that the minority population changed
from 98% to 50% white.
After seven years teaching,
Sidney married her current husband, whom she met skiing at Sugarbush Mountain
in Vermont. Her husband is an
Auburn native and she moved here in 1976.
That same year, she was hired by the Union Springs school district as
director of reading.
At Union Springs, Sidney
developed a center for reading designed to ensure all children would be
literate before they graduate. The
center taught at the various levels to addresses students’ differing needs and
also taught study skills, among other things.
Sidney also served as a
principal for Cayuga Elementary School for 7-8 years.
In the early 1990s, Sidney was
asked by the superintendent of schools to develop a leadership program. A survey of Union Springs area businesses had
identified leadership as the single skill students lacked as they departed
school and entered the workforce.
Working initially with Wells
College, Sidney and our President, Marion Krauter, worked with five other
teachers to create Wellsprings Leadership Institute, a leadership camp hosted
by Wells College. The camp
educated over 150 kids in its ten (10) years of existence.
We are very lucky to have one
with Sidney’s diverse background in the club and I look forward to learning
more about her background in the future.
Save the Date: Father’s
Day Pancake Breakfast June 15
It’s that time of year when the Skaneateles [evening, with apologies to
John Hennessy] Rotary Club is beginning to plan for the annual Father’s Day
Pancake Breakfast.
Father’s Day is Sunday June 15.
In the past, we have always helped with set up, during the day and
ticket selling in addition to conducting our annual lawnmower raffle. If you can, please reserve some time on
either Friday June 13 or Saturday June 14 from 8 to 10 a.m. for set up, Sunday
from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. for the breakfast itself.
The evening club has been very supportive of Winterfest and our club
and we would like to return the favor so please save the dates and plan to
pitch in in whatever manner you can.
