Mrs. Zajac
Email: jzajac@ckcs.net
Mrs. Zajac is embarking on her 27th year of teaching, with 19 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.
Mrs. Zajac came to PCK for the 2013-14 school year to embark on a new adventure and she is delighted to be in kindergarten again! When she is not teaching, Mrs. Zajac is spending time at the range, hiking in this gorgeous state with her corgis, practicing yoga, checking her Garmin for her latest stats, 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! During the 2020 pandemic her big project was building the chicken coop pictured above with her husband.
Her last name is pronounced (Zay-jack). Be careful when spelling, it doesn't have a "k" on the end!
