“My years in the Gloversville Enlarged School District
were a challenge, but teachers, counselors and family
helped shape my life in Gloversville. I learned a respect
for others and how our community is so important when you
are bringing up a family in a small town. I will always
remember my teachers with great respect and admiration.
The school district also furnished my children with an
excellent education and encouraged them to further their
education, which they did. I have very fond memories of my
time in the Gloversville schools and community. My family
and friends have always been a very important part of my
life and they come first, but I have an obligation to give
back to my community, which has given me so much.” – JoAnn

 Mrs.
Samrov is a lifelong resident of Gloversville. She
graduated from Gloversville High School in 1967, and for
many years worked for the Fulmont news Distribution
Company in Gloversville and Amsterdam as a clerical
worker. She was also a teacher aide at Kingsborough
Elementary School, and for the last ten years has worked
in the attendance office at Gloversville High School.
For more than 12 years, Mrs. Samrov served as the
president, co-president and treasurer of the PTA and PTSA
at Kingsborough, Gloversville Middle School and
Gloversville High School. She has also supervised and
worked concession stands for football and basketball
games, served on the GMS School-Wide Fund-raiser
Committee, and served on the district’s Shared Decision
Making Team.
She also volunteers on the Y.M.C.A Membership Committee,
for the Cancer Relay for Life, and at the Glove Theatre,
where she has helped with the annual telethon.
Mrs. Samrov says the volunteering she and her husband
Richard do always focuses on the children of the
community. The Y.M.C.A. membership committee makes it
possible for our youth to have a place to go, and the
Glove Theatre helps to introduce children to the arts and
the theatre, she said.
In 1996 Mrs. Samrov received the E.P.I.C. Estee People in
Community Award, and in 2004 she received the Appreciation
Award from the PTA and PTSA of the school district for
service to the children of the community through the
years.
Mrs. Samrov and her husband have two sons, Adam and Eric,
both of whom graduated from Gloversville High School with
13 years of perfect attendance.
