| James Goodridge - Class of 2013 James made Dean’s List while at Le Moyne, graduated in 2017, and then earned a full academic scholarship to St. John's School of Law in New York City. He is at the end of his 2L (second) year and is diligent in studies. James recently received a trio of awards (First Place, Best Brief, and Best Oralist) at a moot court competition hosted by the Nassau County Bar Association and evaluated by a panel of state and federal judges. This is the third time that James has been commended for his legal writing, having previously received Best Brief in a competition last fall and the Dean’s Award for Excellence in Legal Writing at the conclusion of his 1L year. James says that he owes this success to the amazing teachers who helped craft his talent and passion for writing during his time as a B’ville Bee.  |
| James Webb, Class of 1993 Degrees/certifications/ What are you doing now? Executive Chef At Bistro Dining hall At SUNY Cortland with ASC Dining Services Where do you live? Liverpool NY Which Baldwinsville teacher(s) made a difference in your life and why? Beth Mahon - her patience and wonderful personality and ability to listen made her the best teacher. Her patience in showing me how to cook in my early years inspired me to move on and be patient with others, too. I know I was not an easy student to be patient with. How did Baldwinsville prepare you for college/career? Between the class schedule and sports I learned to keep focused and work hard to get to where I needed to go. When I was a freshman in high school, I never thought I would graduate, but I did. I never thought I would be the chef of a kitchen that feeds about 2500 people a day, but I had to work hard at it and Baldwinsville prepared me for that. Favorite memory of school – That’s a great question, I can not really pinpoint a moment that was a favorite. The best was the feeling of accomplishment of graduating and taking everything I learned into the future.  |
| Michael Spicer, Class of 2017 What are you doing now? Full time student at Hamilton College as an economics major and communications minor. I am on the football team and track and field team. I am the director of professional out reach for the Hamilton Sports Business Club, and I am also employed by the equipment manager at Hamilton College. I am also the CEO of Cedarvale Maple Syrup Co. Which teacher(s) made a difference in your life? It would be too hard to point out just a couple of teachers in the district that made an impact on me. The selflessness, enthusiasm, and positive character of all the teachers in the district played an important role in my life. This includes not just teachers I had in class but all the teachers and faculty members I encountered on a day to day basis. How did Baldwinsville prepare you for college? The high academic standards complemented by the competitive atmosphere of athletics in Baldwinsville, specifically the sport of wrestling for me, is the driver of my success in accomplishing what I have done today. Favorite memory of school: My favorite memory of Baldwinsville is having the pleasure to be influenced every day by my close friend, Tommy Zucculotto. |
Andrea Atcheson (Scala) - Class of 1991 Degrees/Certifications: BA in Psychology and minor in Health And Society-1995 (University of Rochester); BS and certificate in Physician Assistant-1999 from RIT What are you doing now? I work at the VA Hospital as a physician assistant in anticoagulation (blood thinners) and also own my own business called Heart Health Academy, where I am a wellness coach with aims to reduce heart disease and help people lead healthier lives. Where do you live? Radisson If you still live in the B'ville school district, why? After graduation from RIT, I moved to San Diego for several years. When I had my first child in 2012, my husband and I moved back home to be near family. I grew up in Radisson and loved it there, so it was a natural move/fit for us. My six-year-old son is at McNamara in first grade and my five-year-old son will enter kindergarten in the fall at McNamara. Which B'ville teachers made a difference in your life? Al Jenner, former WBXL teacher. He was not only a very intelligent, articulate man and teacher, but he became a close friend to my family. In fact, my dad and I recently went for coffee with him. And...till this day, I pronounce my "Ws" perfectly ("double-you"), as we had to do when on the air! How did B'ville prepare you for college/career? Baldwinsville was a great district in that the course work was excellent with great teachers who cared. Also, I played many sports year round, and this was an integral part of my social and personal development. I am happy to have gone to B'ville since first grade! Favorite memory of school: This is a hard one since there are so many, but probably going to the football games with my friends on Friday nights. The fall weather was beautiful and I always thought I was "cool" walking around in front of the bleachers! |
