West Virginia teacher educates through global excursions
FAIRMONT, W.Va. (AP) — East Fairmont High School teacher Annalese Weldy teaches more than just math to her students; she teaches them about international culture and travel as well.
"I love to travel," Weldy said. "That has just been in my family forever and a day. We used to pick up in our big conversion van, and there were 10 of us that would fit in this van, and we would go across county for like 2-3 weeks out of our summer. So I have some pretty crazy stories as you can imagine. I like to share that with my kids and let them know that I've traveled since I was little, and before I can even remember. I just love it."
Weldy has taken that love and interest in traveling and shared it with her students and their families.
