Mary Adelman Schwartz

Mrs Schwartz was my third grader teacher in 1963 at Clinton Elementary School in Plainfield. I remember her as clear as a bell wool plaid pleted skirt, white blouse and cardigan with sleeves pushed up to her elbows. She accepted nothing less than excellence and we preformed to her standards. My penmanship is because of her strict standards. I have always said I have never had a teacher who was to mean (LOL) but I now know she set a level of work ethic that has followed me throughout my life. She also had a level of compassion unmatched.
