Ms. Rebecca “Becky” Worth was a teacher for 22 years. She came to Kinyon in the Fall of 2018 after having taught in Detroit for 19 years.  Ms. Worth was a proud Alumni of Eastern Michigan University. She graduated with both her bachelor’s degree and master’s degree from Eastern.  At Kinyon, Ms. Worth quickly found her home away from home. She taught 4th grade and found joy in the relationships she built with her students and their families. She wasn’t just their teacher, but she was one of their biggest cheerleaders. You could often find her at her students sporting events, dance recitals and birthdays.  Ms. Worth passed away unexpectedly in November due to a heart issue. While she leaves behind many who loved and adored her, she has also left a legacy for those who were touched by her teaching and her friendship. She is deeply missed by many.

This would have been Ms. Ball's third year with us.  She worked with over 120 of our second and third graders, helping to strengthen their reading skills.  She was always positive, and didn't complain.  Her positivity and optimism even remained after her cancer diagnosis in May, 2020.  When asked how she was doing this past fall, she said she was doing well, even when she was not.
