Favorite With Teachers

Teachers who worked under Mrs. Quaintance are unanimous in their praise. “She taught me more about teaching than anyone else I’ve ever known—far more than any education class 1 ever had," said Mrs. Susan Henry, seventh grade history instructor.

“She treated children fairly, each of them the same and she listened, really listened, when we talked to her,” Mrs. Henry continued. “Instead of handing down orders, she had a way of making teachers want to do things, just to please her."

Mary Botts could tell immediately if one of her teachers needed help, according to her co-workers. “She could see a teacher’s weak spots and she offered constructive criticism. Mrs. Quaintance would say ’I've been watching and I think you’re having trouble with this. Why don’t you try thus and such?’

"She has an uncanny way of understanding people." Mrs. Henry concluded.

Mary Botts Quaintance has extended her helping hand beyond the school houst door. Active in scouting, she currently serves as chairman of the Girl Scout service unit for Rappahannock County. Primarily responsible for recruiting leaders, she oversees the county program for brownies, juniors and cadets. “She helps make things happen,” said her scoufpig co-worker Sharon Kilpatrick.
