Lisa Stiles-Gyllenhammer Branch

A good thing just got even better.  The new Boys & Girls Clubs of Spokane County Mead site, set to open in March in the old Mead Middle School, will be dedicated in honor of an inspirational educator who left a rich legacy of love for children and who touched the lives of so many.  We proudly announce the naming of the new Mead Boys & Girls Club after Lisa Stiles-Gyllenhammer.  Lisa was a beloved teacher at Shiloh Hills Elementary who lost a long and brave battle with breast cancer in January of 2006.  Lisa was known for her impassioned excellence and encouragement, support, and going the extra mile for her kids EVERY time.  For a Club whose mission is to help every child reach their full potential, we could not think of a more fitting person to dedicate our Club to as we expand our mission in north Spokane.

“As an elementary school teacher, Lisa was well known for putting the needs of others ahead of her own. She was an overachiever who, throughout chemotherapy and radiation treatments, continued to focus her attention on the students of Shiloh Hills Elementary. She was committed to educating and empowering her students. Lisa believed her students didn’t need a hand out, but a hand up. The Boys & Girls Club is the perfect environment to offer kids throughout north Spokane the opportunity for a brighter future.” – Chris Stiles, brother of Lisa Stiles Gyllenhammer.
