EP 7 My Memorable Kindergarten Teacher, Mrs. Fernley

03/12/23 • 22 min

Do you have a favorite teacher? Host Diane M. Simard's most memorable teacher was actually her kindergarten teacher back in 1971, Mrs. Nettie Fernley, who taught all seven grades at Cotesfield Dist. #14 in Cotesfield, Nebraska.
For starters, Mrs. Fernley was born in 1896 and her first husband served in World War I. She played piano during the silent movies in the early 1900s, and her experience as a performer definitely influenced her teaching style! Diane will share some of Mrs. Fernley's antics, including what happened during the school's Christmas program when Diane was in first grade that shocked everyone!
