Lori Marzalek is one of
the first teachers parents meet when their kids start Banyan. This is her 18th year teaching at
Banyan (23rd year teaching), and most of those years have been spent
in room A teaching Kindergarten. She has
also taught 1st & 2nd grade in the past. She is also the teacher rep for the PTA!
Mrs. Marzalek has two kids
herself, Lauren and Hayden, both of who went to Banyan Elementary School when
they were younger. She also has 3 dachshunds, 1 grand dog named
Winnie, 1 very old cat, 2 baby tortoises and a variety of fish.
Teaching is definitely in Mrs.
Marzalek’s blood, her grandma was a teacher, her mom was a teacher and her
daughter, Lauren, is currently student teaching in a K/1 split.
Everyday something makes her
laugh - the little kids are so funny.
When asked what was one of
her favorite PTA sponsored events over the years, she replied that some of the
best times were at the old dinner dance/auction at the DV rec center – they
were so fun and so unexpected!
“Where the Wild Things Are”
is probably one of her favorite childhood books.
When Mrs. Marzalek isn’t
in the classroom she is most likely hiking, travelling, camping, going to yoga
classes, photography, her spin classes, working out at the gym, and of course spending
time with her family!
Mrs. Marzalek when she was your child's age. She enjoyed going to school and playing with blocks. Also playing with her younger sister Suzi.
