Marcia Patton has been named this year’s “Casper Woman of Distinction.” She spent 34 years as a teacher, 14 of those teaching vocal music at Kelly Walsh High School. She founded the Casper Children’s Chorale 28 years ago. She now works for the University of Wyoming in its professional learning communities prorgram, helping student teachers in the music field.
A selection panel chose Marcia for the award from among seven nominees in the 12th annual program. It’s sponsored by the American Association of University Women, the American Society of Women Accountants, The Girl Scout Council of Wyoming and Soroptimist International of Central Wyoming.
The Wyoming Arts Council believes that experiencing the arts should be accessible for all, including people with mental and/or physical disabilities, older adults, military/veterans, people living in institutions and those who lack access to the arts due to geographic isolation, cultural difference and economic hardship.
