Staff Spotlight: Meet Hanna Conbeer – School Librarian and Media Specialist
Join us in shining a spotlight on Harry Hoag Librarian and Media Specialist Hanna Conbeer.
“The Fort Plain Central School District is proud to recognize Hanna Conbeer,” said Interim Superintendent Dr. Karen Geelan. “Hanna is an important part of our teaching team at Harry Hoag, helping our learners develop the strong English Language Arts (ELA) and literacy skills they need to be successful in and out of school, and for the world they will live and work in once they graduate. We are grateful to have Hanna in our school community.”
For Harry Hoag Library and Media Specialist Hanna Conbeer, it is a good day at school when she learns library time has sparked a love of reading in her students.
“I really enjoy being a part of the students’ learning,” said Conbeer. “I love watching kids discover a book that they love. I love when they tell me they have loved a book so much that they read it with their mom or dad, too. This is the best!”
Now in her third year with the district, Hanna Conbeer is an important part of the school team—helping our students become strong readers, writers and critical thinkers. She also works closely with the teachers—providing the books and other tools to support their classroom lessons and helping them build even the most reluctant readers’ “literacy muscles.”
“Hanna consistently engages the students in rigorous, ELA-focused lessons that go far beyond the traditional ‘read-and-check-out’ library model,” said Harry Hoag Principal Amy Batholomew. “Her commitment to their learning—and to her own growth as a professional—has a meaningful impact on the literacy learning for all of our students.”
Inspiring a love of reading – for every student
Before joining the Fort Plain teaching team, Conbeer worked as a librarian in the Springfield and Canajoharie public libraries. While this was meaningful, becoming a school librarian and media specialist has allowed her to do what she is most passionate about—work with kids and help develop their literacy skills.
“My heart has always been in working with children, but it was like pulling teeth to get the children into the public library. Here, I have a sort of ‘captive’ audience,” she said with a grin.
From lessons that help students build their skills at finding what they need to know in the library and online to one-on-one work with our students who are learning English as a new language, developing strong, curious and confident readers and media-smart citizens is the goal.
“Reading is essential. It opens doors in our minds and in our worlds. It helps us unlock our imaginations, be creative and solve problems. It helps us succeed in what we want to do,” said Conbeer. “I love that Harry Hoag is such a close-knit school and that I get to know all the kids, help inspire their learning and watch them grow.”

Staff Spotlight: Meet Student Support Liaison Will Ryan
Join us in shining a spotlight on Fort Plain Jr./Sr. High School Teacher and new Student Support Liaison, Will Ryan.
“The Fort Plain Central School District is proud to recognize Will Ryan’s many years of dedication as a teacher, mentor and advocate for our teaching team,” said Interim Superintendent Dr. Karen Geelan. “Will is known for the meaningful connections he builds and the impact he’s had with the students in his classroom. We are grateful to have him in this new role, where he will be able to continue this important work on a larger scale—throughout the school and with our many students.”
For more than 25 years, Will Ryan has been an active member of our school community: teaching social studies and University in the High School (UHS) psychology and sociology courses through UAlbany, serving as director for 14 years of the FP-Canjo Drama Club and its spring musical, and leading the Fort Plain Teachers Association as president for seven years.
Through it all, Ryan says he’s had the opportunity to grow as an educator while forming strong, lasting connections with students, their families (some of whom were once his students themselves!) and his colleagues.
This school year, Ryan has taken on a new role as Student Support Liaison at the Jr./Sr. High School—a position for which he feels his years of experience as a teacher and community volunteer have uniquely prepared him.
Building Bridges and Creating Connections
As Student Support Liaison, Ryan focuses on building trusting relationships with all students—in the halls, the lunchroom and the classroom—but especially with those who may feel disconnected or need extra support.
He emphasizes the importance of curiosity and compassion in understanding students: shifting the question from “What’s wrong with you?” when they misstep to “What’s going on for you?”
While part of his role involves assisting administrators with disciplinary procedures, Ryan knows that being a trusted adult—someone students know believes in them—can make all the difference during challenging times.
This summer, Ryan completed training in restorative practices, an approach that emphasizes accountability and helps students repair relationships with peers and staff when harm has been caused. He uses these strategies with his own students and is helping model them for teachers and staff across the school.
“The biggest thing I’ve learned as a teacher—and in life—is that how we treat others matters,” said Ryan, “We always have a choice in how we react to a situation or setback. Sometimes these are skills we already know; other times, we need someone to teach us. I hope I can help both our students and our school team learn and practice those skills together.”
