Buffalo Spree Faces of WNY 2022

THE FACE OF LEADERSHIP IN GIRLS’ EDUCATION

BUFFALO SEMINARY

Buffalo Seminary (SEM) is a leader in girls’ education, distinguished by more than 170 years of excellence and innovation. Today, the school prepares young women from WNY and the world to emerge from high school with global perspectives and as leaders eager to shape society rather than be controlled or defined by it.

Led by art teacher and Albright-Knox Northland resident artist Tricia Butski, students were inspired to paint a mural in the Biology Lab that symbolizes SEM values including tradition, leadership, community, and perseverance.

THE FACE OF RETIREMENT

AMANDA QUIRK

LIVING

Facilities Supervisor Amanda Quirk is undoubtedly one of the most important FACES at Fox Run. Her organizational punch keeps first impressions flawless. Amanda has overseen the Housekeeping and Maintenance departments for more than a decade and knows the fifty-four-acre campus like no other. Her pragmatic approach keeps all 320,000 square feet picture perfect.

Amanda continuously raises the bar for Fox Run, the premier Lifecare Community in the Southtowns. Amanda is pictured here with Maintenance Technician Mark Sayles and Director of Facilities Matthew Lawless. One Fox Run Lane, Orchard Park, 14127; 716-662-5001, foxrunorchardpark.com
