Like mother, like daughter
. Lying in her playpen, Meredith Ann soaked it all in as her mom, Anna Calvert, taught a roomful of five-year-olds everything they need to know in life.
Many of Anna’s teacher friends thought she should discourage her only child from teaching. After all, it’s a career that can take a lot out of a person in terms of time, energy and spirit. It doesn’t pay well, the hours are long, and teachers are often underappreciated. Like her mother, Meredith Ann very much wants to be there. This past spring, she became a fourth-generation graduate of Athens State University, following in the footsteps of her mother, grandfather and great-grandmother before her, and landed a teaching position at Harmony School, where she’d done her internship.Anna, the 2021-22 Cullman County Elementary Teacher of the Year, is in her 35th year of teaching at West Point.
“I have a good resource in my mom,” says Meredith Ann. She says her mother has imparted the importance of maintaining structure in a kindergarten classroom, and how repetition is key.
