About Mrs. Smolenski
First, I am very excited to be teaching here at Oakbrook Elementary School! I look forward to working with the students, parents and staff!
My husband and I live in Mount Prospect with our two daughters and our goldendoodle, Roxie. We have one daughter in college and one in high school. They are both active in music, dance, theater and show choir. I received my Bachelor's degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and my Masters Degree in Elementary Education from National-Louis University in Chicago. I hold teaching endorsements in Elementary Education, Mathematics, Language Arts, Social Studies and Spanish, and I have taught in Mount Prospect School District 57, Deerfield District 109, Northbrook-Glenview District 30, and Glenview District 34. My most recent position was in Deerfield at Caruso Middle School where I taught 6th grade Math. Prior to becoming a teacher, I had a 14-year career at Sears Headquarters working in six executive management positions in Public Relations, Marketing and Advertising. I also worked as a professional wedding and portrait photographer, a certified fitness instructor, and a dance instructor. I continue to teach dance in Mount Prospect in Tap, Jazz, Ballet and Hip Hop styles. In my free time, I enjoy dance, exercise, yoga, photography, music, READING and spending time with my family and friends. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have! |
