Lynn Rossing, Executive Director

Lynn founded the Driftless Reading Academy in 2023 out of a deep belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to experience the joy of reading. An AMI-trained Montessori teacher, she spent 20 years teaching in primary and elementary classrooms in Madison and Portland and has also worked as an adult literacy tutor.

For many years Lynn has been involved with education for both young people and adults. She has facilitated cognitive-behavioral and assertive communication groups that support people coming out of prison as they worked toward positive change in their lives. She has served on the board of the Argyle Public Library and for many years was a member of Sunstone Montessori School’s Board of Trustees.

Today, Lynn volunteers with the wonderful 13 Salmon Shower Project and serves on the Hillsdale Neighborhood Association Board of Directors. Whether in the classroom or in the community, she is passionate about creating welcoming spaces where people of all ages and skill levels can learn, grow, and feel supported.
