As you are reading this, I am beginning my vacation in Ireland, catching up on all the latest news with my siblings and their families. Here is some St. John news I wanted to share with you before I left.
We are pleased to introduce the newest addition to our middle school team. Gwynedd Rzegocki has been hired as a 7th grade homeroom teacher and to teach the 7th and 8th grade literature and 7th language arts classes. Ms. Rzegocki is a graduate of St. Luke School in Shoreline, Holy Names Academy, and Princeton University. She completed her MA in Teaching at Seattle University in 2013. Ms. Rzegocki is returning to the Seattle area having taught at International Community School in Amman, Jordan for the past two years. Please join me in welcoming Ms. Rzegocki to our St. John community!
