Kayla Joy Toelle Scholarship

Kayla Joy Toelle loved learning, teaching, and being around kids. Putting those three traits to use in the field of education after high school was a goal of Kayla’s. Her participation in school activities, love for the school environment, and family tradition of being in education also influenced her career choice and desire to be an educator.

As a student in the Amherst school district, Kayla Joy was around the elementary classrooms and after school program for many years. She volunteered for the kindergarten summer school program, was part of the Big Buddy program, and in 2012 was officially employed by the Tomorrow River School District as a Teacher Assistant in the After School Program. In addition, she obtained the Red Cross Babysitting Certification so she could also work with kids outside the school setting.

Kayla’s parents, Mike and Kris Toelle, are honored to provide a scholarship in Kayla’s name to a student who is enthusiastic about kids and studying in the field of education.
