Mrs. Schreiner: AHS’ Resident Wonder Woman By ANNA WANG Staff Writer

The chilly Monday after Band competed at the 36th Annual Mt. Carmel Band Competition, I walked out the back doors of our music building, ready for field rehearsal. A woman with snowy white hair and a kind smile on her way to the Student Services Building veered off her charted course that would have taken her out of the freezing morning air, approached me and asked, “So how did Band do this weekend?” Unused to having staff members ask about Band, I cheerfully recounted the group’s performances. As she listened, she radiated genuine happiness. Walking away, I too was smiling because of the amazing woman who took time out of her day to ask about our music program. Mrs. Terry Schreiner left a great and lasting impression on me—just as she has left her mark on our school and the entire Arcadia Unified School District—as she goes above and beyond what is asked of her. Working for our district for 28 years and at AHS for the past 18, Mrs. Schreiner is currently the principal’s secretary, overseeing his schedule and being the go-to person for anyone who needs her expertise. She cheerily helps anyone who walks through the door. Countless students have personally been affected by her organizational efforts by taking the PSAT, a test that Mrs. Schreiner coordinates. “Mrs. Schreiner is a wealth of information, knowledge, and [is] beyond organized. She has reached a point where she can anticipate what is needed before you ask it,” said Assistant Principal Mrs. Jennifer Lashier. With Mrs. Schreiner at the helm, it is no wonder that our office runs so smoothly and efficiently! “Our school would definitely not be as great without Mrs. Schreiner,” gushed ASB Vice President senior Kerry Wang. This incredible individual has been invaluable to our music program. Starting as a music booster parent when her daughters were in the program years before, Mrs. Schreiner continued to volunteer even after her daughters graduated. She organized many of Band’s trips, such as the Presidential Inaugural Parade in 2005 and several Gator Bowl trips, and helped Orchestra as well by organizing ticket sales for concerts. Band Director Mr. Kevin Sherrill lauded “her spirit of volunteering.” “She is always concerned about others [while] never concerned about receiving attention for all the work she does,” he praised. Members of Band share Mr. Sherrill’s sentiments. Drum Major senior David Wang expressed, “We want to thank Mrs. Schreiner for all of her support for Band and for all the things she has done for us behind the scenes.” Mrs. Schreiner is a warm and caring person who exemplifies the meaning of generosity. “She never hesitates to help anyone in need,” said junior Nicole Wei. “Everyone really appreciates what she’s done for our school!” Mrs. Schreiner’s vibrant and warm spirit did not slacken even with the passing of her husband, Mr. Ed Schreiner, another selfless, involved, and remarkable person like herself, earlier this year. Thank you, Mrs. Schreiner, for being such an integral part of our school! awang@apachepowwow.com Photo by WILSON LIN
