🌟 Teacher Feature: Mrs. Jurik – A Kindergarten Legend! 🌟 For 18 years, Mrs. Jurik has been a guiding light in the kindergarten classrooms of Village Meadows—helping little learners take their first big leap into education! 🏫✨ To her, kindergarten is a world of discovery, and she loves watching her students grow from playful preschoolers into confident first graders. Her classroom, affectionately called the Puppy Pack, is a warm and nurturing space where every child feels valued and supported—a perfect fit within the Wolf Pack family. 🐾💙 Mrs. Jurik embraces hands-on learning and small-group centers, always looking for new ways to spark curiosity and excitement in her students. She credits much of her success to her incredible paraprofessional, Mrs. Urbina, who works closely alongside her. 📝🎨📚 Outside the classroom, she’s a devoted grandmother, spending time at the Reid Park Zoo and Children’s Museum with her granddaughter. She enjoys knitting, reading, traveling, and family time—and this year, she’s preparing for an exciting new adventure: retirement! 🎉✈️ Principal Mrs. Wambach describes her perfectly: "Mrs. Jurik is more than a teacher—she’s an icon, a leader, and a transformative force in the lives of young minds. She has become an integral part of Village Meadows, leaving a lasting impact on every student lucky enough to be in her 'Puppy Pack!'" Though she’ll be stepping away from the classroom, her legacy will live on in the hearts of the many students, families, and colleagues she has touched. Thank you, Mrs. Jurik, for your years of dedication, love, and inspiration! 💙🐺 Drop a 💙🐾 in the comments to celebrate Mrs. Jurik’s amazing career! #ThankYouMrsJurik #WolfPackForever #VillageMeadowsPride #EmpoweringYou #SVUSDProudARatedDistrict
