St. Michael School Staff Members
"I love teaching kindergarten! I am so lucky to be able to do what I love every day. I am so fortunate to be able to teach in such a wholesome, family-oriented school. I love the relationships that I make with my students and parents and the connections that remain with my previous classroom families. I am so blessed to be working in a great school with a great staff. I feel at home here and feel like I am able to spread my wings and do what I think is best for the students. I enjoy seeing my kindergarteners grow and mature over the year and love seeing what they can accomplish. I am very fortunate to be apart of such a wonderful place."

Miss Sylvester - 2nd Grade
"This is the start of my 7th year here at St. Mike’s and I absolutely love it. I never imagined working at a parochial school and now I couldn’t imagine working anywhere else. I love the family atmosphere that we have and the fact that I know all of the students in the building. I am also very lucky that I get to prepare the students for their sacraments. This is a very special time for them to grow in their Catholic faith. I hope to teach at Saint Michael's for years to come."

Mrs. Grzegorczyk - 6th Grade
"I am thrilled to be able to be a part of Saint Michael's School this year! My children attend Saint Michael's and I love the closeness, family involvement, and whole child approach to how this school functions. Robert Frost said it best by "I am not a teacher, but an awakener." I am excited to be an awakener and explore the world through Social Studies and mathematics with the students.
Let me share a little bit about myself. Right out of high school I served in the Navy doing welding and repair work. I was stationed in Italy, where I was able to travel Europe and develop my love for history. After serving in the Navy, we moved to Pinconning. I have attended college during that time, earning a BA in History, minor in Psychology, as well as a Certification to teach. I have taken many math courses as well and will be earning my math endorsement for my teaching certification. I was also able to stay at home to care for the five healthy and wonderful children we have been blessed with."

Mrs. Sprywa - 7th/8th Grade
It is my pleasure to address everyone and share just a little bit about myself. First of all, I would just like to say how excited I am to be part of the St. Michael's staff. What a wonderful place to be! In the past, I visited St. Michael School and had opportunity to observe teachers, students, and staff during a school day. An atmosphere of respect and academic diligence permeated the school. St. Michael School is Christ centered. This is where my heart is too!
I have been teaching for twenty-nine years: firstly, four years in Dearborn Heights where I taught fifth grade, high school English, and elementary art; secondly, twenty-five years at Bay Area Catholic Schools where I taught middle school English, Art, and theology. My educational background includes a B.A. and a M.A.T. in education. I am also honored to be a commissioned lay minister for the Diocese of Saginaw. I feel parents would like to know what my credentials are so for these reasons, I share them with you.

I hope to continue the spiritual, academic, and family-oriented traditions that make St. Michael’s School such a special place! I strive to keep this school a faith-filled, caring, academic-driven place where kids want to come everyday."
