Miss Elsie Dodson, a teacher with Mrs. Moore at Flint Hill, Washington and the new elementary school. ‘‘She was well liked by her patrons.” Starting first as a substitute teacher, Mrs. Moore began working full-time in 1954 when Mrs. Aftnie Cooke, then principal of the Flint Hill Elementary School, was faced with a teacher shortage and asked Mrs. Moore to accept a job.
“She had a high school diploma when she started teaching,” recalled Miss Dodson. “I remember her telling me years ago that she’d taken 60 hours of courses at extension schools. That was back then. I don’t know how many hours she has now... She worked very hard to improve her training in order to be a better teacher,” Miss Dodson said.
Annie Moore taught a combination fourth-fifth grade class her first year at Flint Hill and then taught first grade for the next four years.
When the little school closed, she moved with her students to Washington Elementary School as a first grade teacher for one year.
Mrs. Moore then left Rappahannock schools for five years at Mosby Academy in Front Royal. She returned to Sperryville Elementary to teach second grade and moved to the new elementary school when it opened.
"Children are children,” Mrs. Moore replied when asked if kids had changed during the quarter of a century that she’s been a teacher.
