    MEET MRS. ROZENEK!

    Hello!  My name is Mrs. Rozenek and I am going to be your 5th grade teacher. This will be my 19th year teaching for Erie's Public Schools and my first teaching at JoAnna Connell Elementary.  I have years of experience teaching upper elementary students.  I am excited to be a part of the JoAnna Connell family. Goooo Cougars! 

    I am an Erie native, having attended the parochial schools in Erie County.  I received my B.A. in Elementary/Early Childhood as well as an M.Ed. in Reading Specialization from Edinboro University.

    My hope for this school year is that I can encourage my students to feel comfortable taking risks and accepting challenges as they learn and grow. 

    My dream is that I will be able to help my students achieve their hopes and dreams.

    I enjoy spending time with my family: my son Cain (14), my daughter Cora (10), my husband Carl, and my two cats, Midnight and Sly. Some of my favorite hobbies are reading, watching my kiddos play sports, collecting gnomes, and crafting.

    My students always ask me about my favorites, so here goes.....
