Merin, Anne
From Central Park Historical Society Encyclopedia
Teaching career began in Valley Stream Central High School where she taught German during World War II. Her first experience with the Bethpage Schools began in 1949 when she was class mother when her first son attended Powell Avenue School and later she became active in the PTA. In 1957 she began as a substitute teacher. The population was growing which presented a great need for substitute teachers, and the untimely teachers strike (the first teachers strike on Long Island) stressed the system. After that she was on call to substitute in the various schools in the district. She taught French, math, science, shop and boys gym. In 1968, Anne became a full time math teacher. She taught both B and C classes in the JFK Jr. High School and started the individualize program with Mr. Paul Rondone (they even had a computer to use). After about 25 years of teaching Anne retired in 1979. Anne resided on Norcross Avenue where she and husband, Sam, raised their children - Roy, Paul, Nancy, Luci, Sue, Janet.
