You Are Special: Anne Ludes
Her "dedication to relentlessly pursuing educational success for all students makes her an inspiring example for all those around her."

Anne Ludes was one of 23 Framingham School employees honored at the 23rd Annual Salute to Framingham.
The annual Salute program recognizes Framingham teachers and staff who go the extra mile to make each day “special” in our public schools. These teachers and staff are given a “You Are Special” designation and are publicly recognized as part of the Salute to Framingham.
Editor’s note: Framingham Patch is publishing all 23 honorees profiles between now and the end of the school year, so the community can recognize the employee. Below is the profile of Ludes as it was read to the sold-out crowd of more than 500 people on Thursday, March 26.
