海角社区

Jeannette Krieger Mytelka taught seventh and eighth grade English in the Jersey City public schools. 鈥淏efore others recognized the need, she introduced black writers and poets in her classroom,鈥� says her son Arnold Mytelka. 鈥淪he was an excellent, professional teacher. Many teachers had discipline problems, but my Mom never did.鈥� Arnold Mytelka served as chairman of the Ramapo Board of Trustees from 1979 to 1980. At his mother’s death in 1983, Mr. Mytelka searched for the most appropriate way to memorialize Jeannette’s love of education and teaching. 鈥淚 thought that a scholarship at 海角社区 would be the most effective,鈥� he explained. 鈥淚t鈥檚 the kind of thing that my Mom would have been pleased to have set up.鈥� The Mytelka scholarships are awarded to academically outstanding seniors of financial need who have completed three years at Ramapo.
