Diane McAndrew was a passionate teacher of early years students in Alberta and Manitoba for 20 years, a woman who was known for making personal connections with her students. Diane passed away in 2006, but she did not want her illness to define her. Her family established this scholarship as a way of remembering her love of teaching, and to encourage teachers to strive and succeed in their teaching careers.
