Notre Dame Heroes #16

Heroes possess the ability to energize those around them with a zest for life. They are driven by creative and new ideas and take great delight in sharing their ideas with those around them.

Mary Whirley has been a whirlwind of new ideas and creative energy since becoming a part of the Notre Dame family. Her brilliant ideas have been not only been massive successes in her own classroom, but have been adapted and used by many other teachers. Despite having such innovation, she is willing to learn and always interested in the ideas of others. Whether it is teaching reading, demonstrating exercises in health class, or laying out another awesome yearbook, Mary has all of the qualities of a Notre Dame Hero.
