Rachel

Kramer has focus on improving the quality of life for individuals within the Wabash Valley, founding Saint Ann Medical Clinic, Saint Ann Community Outreach Services and Saint Ann Dental Clinic. These clinics now make up the Wabash Valley Health Center and serve thousands, carrying on Kramer’s vision. In addition, she has served as a high school teacher, business manager and development director and SMWC Trustee, remaining active in her parish. The Guerin Award recognizes the value-based education legacy of our foundress, Saint Mother Theodore Guerin. Froehlich has been a tenacious voice for social justice for more than 40 years. She co-founded the Poor People’s United Fund to help support organizations addressing basic social justice needs in Boston. Two years later, she co-founded Community

Works as a source of support for social justice organizations through workplace giving. More than $5 million has been distributed since Community Works’ inception, where she serves today as a consultant. Kinghorn-Landry embodies Guerin’s pioneering spirit, having forged new ground in the education of children by using music to connect them with God. Her vision became HI GOD, a children’s religious educational program. Together with her husband, Carey, they developed HI GOD Teacher’s Manual and the HI GOD Program of Religious Education. The series grew, and she spent 40 years sharing her vision and expertise, eventually incorporating tools to help work with hearing-impaired children, introducing gestures as a part of the series. The G.O.L.D.E.N. Oak Award recognizes a SMWC Graduate of

the Last Decade Engaging Now. The award celebrates professional achievement, continued service and outstanding personal characteristics of a recently graduated alumnus. Leslie has been active in Terre Haute and the Wabash Valley for many years through her work with the Terre Haute Chamber of Commerce and her role in external relations at SMWC. She founded RJL Solutions in 2017 as an advocacy firm in Terre Haute. She works tirelessly on behalf of West Central Indiana and many of its non-profit organization while also serving as president of the National Defense Industrial Association of Greater Indiana and Vice President of the Indiana Defense Network. These difference makers have not given up. May the legacy of their good works inspire others as they become role models for today’s Woods students.
