Mrs. Zajac

Email: jzajac@ckcs.net

Mrs. Zajac is embarking on her 28th year of teaching, with 20 years of those years in kindergarten. She began her career in North Carolina where her husband was serving in the Marine Corps.  Mrs. Zajac has taught in private, public and charter schools throughout her career.

Mrs. Zajac and her family moved to Colorado in 2005 where she began teaching kindergarten at Ave Maria Catholic School. She completed her Master's of Education degree in 2012 from Regis University with a K-12 licensure as a Reading Specialist. 

When she is not teaching, Mrs. Zajac is spending time on the range, hiking in this gorgeous state with her corgis, practicing yoga, checking her step count, piddling in her garden, watching her chickens free range, baking something gluten free or reading a novel to meet her Goodreads goal for the year!

Her last name is pronounced (Zay-jack). Be careful when spelling, it doesn't have a "k" on the end!
