Pamela Kay Heuslein Memorial Scholarship

Pamela Kay Heuslein was born June 10, 1947, in Boscobel, Wisconsin to Darrell and Allana (Ewers) George. In 1991 she was married to Steve Heuslein, by Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Shirley Abrahamson.

Steve, her husband, and his mother, Betty Heuslein, along with Pam’s children, Tiffany and Brad, and her grandchildren, Ross, Caity, and Rylie, miss her so much they have named this Teaching Scholarship in her memory and honor.

A natural born teacher, Pam was what all children dream their favorite teacher would be.
No child in Pam’s classroom was ever left behind. Her greatest happiness was in knowing in her heart all children in her midst have mastered the discovery and delight of reading and writing.

Pam began a career in elementary education with the Caledonia, Minnesota public school system that spanned thirty-four years. She is fondly remembered as a compassionate teacher who always put the needs of others before those of herself. Papermaking and making books with children were favorite activities. She was proud to be a host parent to many foreign exchange students through the Youth for Understanding (YFU) program. She has a great love of the welfare of children and of animals, including her own four dogs and five horses. Each and every child was a treasure; teaching them her passion. She remarked her students gave her many more gifts in their sharing of their world than she gave them in return.

Everyone in Pam’s sphere of influence was a very special child. It was Pam’s hope all teachers would inspire the children in their classroom to discover the excitement and joy that comes with reading. It is the wish of Steve Heuslein, their children and grandchildren and his mother Betty, that the gift of this scholarship will motivate each recipient to be the teacher who inspires their students to love reading, and the teacher all children dream their favorite teacher to be.

Scholarship contact is Steve (husband of Pam).
