Episode 61: Magic in Margaretville with Michelle Osterhoudt
Michelle Osterhoudt is a wife, mother, and 24-year educator and community leader. Active in civil rights work within her community, Michelle serves as the Vice President of the Oneonta Area NAACP. Michelle has also served on the Commission on Community Relations and Human Rights for the City of Oneonta and was the first African American Council member for the city of Oneonta serving the 4th Ward. A project Michelle is most proud of is her Collaboration with Glimmerglass Festival in Cooperstown and Dr. Eddy Franciso Alvarez of SUNY Oneonta, to create grades 6-12 draft ELA Curriculum for the original libretto "Stomping Grounds," by Paige Hernandez and Victor Simonson. This project fused hip hop culture and music with Opera in the classroom. The project was one of many that focused on her teaching style of addressing issues of social justice in the classroom. She continues to lead through a social justice lens, ensuring equity and access for students. Currently, Michelle enjoys her role as Superintendent of Margaretville Central School District.
