It is with fondness that I remember Mrs. Straszynski. She was my Kindergarten teacher in Lowe Farm in 1984-85. Her kind but firm nature shone in her teaching skills involving singing, reading to us, teaching us to count numbers, print our names or supervising the school yard. My most enduring memory of her presence was her playing the upright piano while teaching us the Mickey Mouse song. What a joy to have known her! - Posted by: Jeanette Mockford (née Dueck) (former student) on: Oct 16, 2014
