Making a Difference: Carole Slotemaker Ryland
Carole Slotemaker Ryland was, among many things, a beloved teacher at Bob Miller Middle School until her passing in May of 2010. One of our community’s unsung heroes, it is for her efforts to bring education, love and compassion to the community that we now share her story.
After receiving her undergraduate degree in Art, Carole completed her Master’s in Education and began teaching with the Clark County School District in 1982. Throughout her career, she shared her passion for the classics with students at Woodbury Jr. High School, Greenspun Jr. High School, The Meadows School and Miller Middle School. But her passion spread far beyond the classroom and into the community with her volunteer work with the Children’s Services Guild and her devotion to aspiring writers with the Southern Nevada Young Writers Project.
Carole will be remembered for her kind and generous spirit, and her untiring efforts as a teacher to bring out the best in each of her students. In memoriam of all that Carole contributed to the community, a scholarship fund has been set up in her name. More information about the Carole Slotemaker Ryland Memorial Scholarship can be found at www.thepef.org/scholarships.xml.
