Phyllis Fajack
I began my career at St. Nicholas School teaching the sixth grade before moving up to the seventh grade. I have taught hundreds of students and believe we continue to produce wonderful students who become great contributors to our society.

My area of concentration is Mathematics, a part of the curriculum in which I have seen a great shift. Our students are expected to master much harder concepts than in the past. This will continue as they are challenged by our ever changing world of technology.

I became Athletic Director because I love sports. Children today have very busy lives juggling school, homework and extra-curricular activities. It is a joy watching our children begin to excel at these

challenges in Junior High.

The beauty of combining sports with school produces students who must begin to use their time wisely, become good sportsmen, work as a team, start something they must finish and begin healthy habits at an early age.

Some of my skills as a teacher include being able to communicate well with students, staff and parents, all with different personality types. I am able to lead others by motivating, encouraging and instructing them. I am self-motivated and willing to set goals and work to achieve them, assuming my own responsibility. I organize my time and resources wisely while being flexible. I strive to be fair, treating all students equally.

I love working with children at St. Nicholas School. I believe in the value of Catholic education and will work hard to carry on the tradition of walking in the footsteps of Jesus.
