Sue 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. She was a person who 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 was created to provide teacher scholarships, promote the development of literacy materials in primary classrooms and initiate partnerships with schools to support young readers and writers. Please consider a donation in her name to support teachers and schools. Donations to this fund make it possible for two teachers to attend the Literacy for All Conference. Donations to the fund can be made through your registration form.
