Lorene Anderson (nee Landers) Scholarship
History
Lorene Anderson (1920-2007) was born in Cottonwood, South Dakota. Soon after her birth the Landers family moved north of Wood Mountain to farm. Lorene married Boyd Anderson and raised five children on their ranch south of Fir Mountain.
Lorene’s parents, Alvin and Sadie Landers, were both teachers. Lorene followed in their footsteps, as did several of her siblings, two of her daughters, a grandson and a great granddaughter. She taught at Plessus, Eastend and Woodville Schools. Lorene was committed to the value of education and instilled it not only in her own children but the future generations of her family as well.
Through the Lorene Anderson (nee Landers) Scholarship it is hoped that the recipient will share their love of education with future generations of students.
This scholarship winner will be chosen by the family of Lorene based on the applicants’ original essay submission.
