Come to the Alumni Grand Reunion and reconnect with Director of Counseling Fran Warmerdam, who has served at O’Dowd since 1985. During that time Fran also taught German and was the cheerleader moderator. When it came to cheerleading, Fran always advised “If you say ‘I can’t’ you should try until you can.”
“The best part of my career has always been the students. I really didn’t know much in the early years (thank you, early graduates, for your patience) and those ‘kids’ taught me most of what I know now! I love seeing them around town or on social media, and I am always amazed at how successful they are at being amazing human beings,” she said.
