Our last retiree to celebrate is a familiar face to the Lowell community - Mrs. Zagorski!

Maria's advice to whoever takes over her classroom is, "Be happy every day. Bring joy and laughter to the classroom. Allow mistakes to be made and think about what the children need the most. Smile at every child every day. Take time to hear each child's voice every day. Have fun with these little people!"

Ms. Merten is that teacher that touched so many at so many schools. Being a business education teacher comes with travel from one building to another, but it also allows you to spread your net and reach more students. While in Waukesha, Janet taught Business Education at Les Paul/Central, Butler, South, North, and Horning, with most of her time spent at Horning teaching Business Ed for 22 years and AVID Elective for three years. Her words of advice..."Get to know your students and build relationships with them; let them know you care about them as a person and want them to succeed. Look for the good and real person inside of every student. Build community relationships and bring those experiences to your students, so they see the connection of their studies to the real world."
