  Mary Ellen Walterich
  

Mary Ellen has been involved with Palaestra since before it was Palaestra - some 27 years! She has a Bachelor of Arts Degree from Michigan State University in the lost art of Journalism. BK (before kids) she edited several newspapers, published her own newspaper, wrote a weekly newspaper column and won a Michigan Press Association award. She homeschooled both of her children, Michael and Alisa and rarely misses the "teachable moment" when she’s with grandkids Brooke and Alexander. Despite having been President of the prestigious Trenton High School Latin Club, Mary Ellen always regretted not having paid more attention to high school Latin. So when her daughter headed off to Calvin College she headed to Wayne State where she not only learned introductory Latin but she learned how to study, a skill she feels had she had before going to college would have changed her entire college experience. Now, when not monitoring the grammar disaster that is Facebook, she enjoys bringing the study of Latin and its many benefits to homeschooled students.
