Cyndy McGrane taught French and Spanish for 37 years at the Denison High School. Being an employee does not qualify one to be honored unless the individual has gone beyond what is required for the job. Besides gaining certification to teach French for college credit, she took dozens of students to France and other French-speaking countries on her own time. She gained endorsement in Spanish education so she could help develop that program for the high school. Through the "Knit One, Save One" program, she taught students to knit infant caps, hundreds of which were sent to third world countries. Later they knitted scarves for American servicemen and women. She continued the knitting program after she retired and has volunteered with the elementary after-school tutoring program as well. She also works with the Crawford County Hospital Auxiliary.
